Question

New parents are getting ready to go home and have received information to help them learn how best to care for the new infant. Which statement indicates that they need additional teaching about how to soothe their newborn if he becomes upset?

Answer 1

The correct answer is "We'll hold off on feeding him for a while because he might be too full."

Explanation:

The parents will need to be more educated about soothing the newborn. By not feeding the baby because they think he/she is full is not the correct thing to do. Many times, a newborn will be upset and they will want more milk. The baby may have spit up their milk and are still hungry. The parents may not understand this and think that they are full if they have fed the baby in the last few hours.

After trying rocking, walking, and giving the baby a pacifier and nothing helps, the baby should be offered a bottle or breast milk to help soothe the upset baby. A newborn should be fed around every 2 or 3 hours and up to an ounce each feeding.
