A mother who is six weeks postpartum reports to the home health nurse that her milk supply seems to be diminishing. The nurse notices that the mother's 16-month-old child is constantly vying for her attention. What is the best advice the nurse can provide to help the mother with breastfeeding while also caring for a toddler?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Reading a book to the 16-month-old child while the mother is breastfeeding the infant can be a practical solution. It allows the mother to attend to both children simultaneously, keeping the older child engaged while tending to the infant.
