Describe how health care providers can impact a mother's ability to trust herself
through breastfeeding - ANSWER-- Health care providers can positively impact
another's ability to trust herself through breastfeeding by suggesting KMC so that
the infant is in close proximity to the nipple and can feel comfortable after being
exposed to an overwhelming environment. The infant will feel comfort while lying
on warm skin and will have a better chance of feeding properly
Additionally, encouraging the mother to not give up breastfeeding if she is having
a tough time. If she states she is concerned the baby does not seem to be feeding
enough or not latching on properly it is important for the health care provider to
continually give support. They can do this by letting the mother know this is
completely normal and through time the baby will become more familiar with
feeding for the breast

You are in the grocery line, and you hear the two people in front of you talking
about a family member's breastfeeding experience. One says to the other " I don't
understand why Jackie quit nursing. She said that she can't breastfeed anymore
, because of work. I mean, is working [a discount chain restaurant] that much more
important than nursing her baby?"
Describe at least 3 social factors that might be at play in Jackie's life and how
they might have influenced her decision to stop breastfeeding. - ANSWER-Jackie
may not be breastfeeding anymore because her job may not offer paid leave or
break for her to pump/feed. The discount chain may not allow her to take more
than 1 break during a shift and therefore not providing enough time for Jackie to
breastfeed. Jackie may be pressured to work as many hours as she can in order
to provide money for her family. Money may be more vital to her as she can find
another way to feed her baby but cannot find another way to make money.
Nursing may not be her priority as she may have societal pressures to formula-
feed her baby. Jackie may not be aware of the benefits that breastfeeding can
provide her and her baby. Marketing for formula may be so attractive to her she
does not see a downside to continuing to work.
