A nurse is reviewing the facility protocol about newborn identification and safety with a new parent. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

(A) "You should recognize that your baby sucking on his hands is a hunger cue."
Recognizing hunger cues is crucial for successful breastfeeding. Early hunger cues like sucking on hands, rooting, and lip-smacking indicate that the baby is ready to feed. Responding to these cues can help establish a good breastfeeding routine and ensure the baby gets adequate nutrition before becoming too distressed to feed effectively.

(B) "You should feed your baby for 10 minutes on each breast."
Feeding duration can vary significantly among babies. Some may need longer than 10 minutes on each breast, while others might feed more efficiently in a shorter time. Instead of a strict time limit, it's important to encourage the mother to allow the baby to feed until they show signs of being full, such as pulling away from the breast or falling asleep.

(C) "You should feed your baby six times a day."
Newborns typically need to feed more frequently than six times a day. Most newborns breastfeed 8-12 times in 24 hours. Limiting feeds to six times a day may not provide sufficient nutrition and can affect the baby’s growth and milk supply.

(D) "You should wake your baby at least every 6 hours at night for feedings."
Newborns, especially in the first few weeks, often need to be fed more frequently than every 6 hours, including at night. Typically, it’s recommended to wake a baby to feed if they sleep for more than 4 hours at a time in the early weeks to ensure adequate intake and to help establish the mother’s milk supply.

(A) Restrict fluids to 1,000 mL/day:
Restricting fluids may lead to dehydration, which can exacerbate nausea and other symptoms of morning sickness. It is important for pregnant individuals to stay hydrated, so fluid restriction is not recommended unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.

(B) Take an over-the-counter antacid:
While antacids may provide relief for heartburn or indigestion, they are not typically recommended as a first-line treatment for nausea associated with morning sickness. Antacids may have limited effectiveness in managing nausea, and their use should be guided by a healthcare provider.

(C) Increase intake of fresh fruits:
While fresh fruits are nutritious and provide essential vitamins and minerals, they may not be well-tolerated by individuals experiencing morning sickness, especially if they have strong flavors or odors. Encouraging the client to eat bland foods in the morning may be more effective in managing nausea during early pregnancy.

(D) Eat dry, bland foods in the morning:
Encouraging the client to eat dry, bland foods in the morning can help alleviate nausea associated with morning sickness. These foods are generally easier on the stomach and less likely to trigger nausea compared to richer or spicier foods. Examples include crackers, toast, or dry cereal. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can also help manage nausea associated with pregnancy.
