Mother places her index & middle finger above & beneath the areola to guide her nipple to the infant   Sissor or V postion for Breastfeeding  
🗑
List methods to prevent engorgement   Early & frequent nursing for adequate lengths of time day & night, Avoid formula/water supplements.  
🗑
List methods to treat engorgement   Feed every 1.5-2h, cold application between feedings, massage to speed milk release, softening areola by using pump/expressing milk to begin flow, meds for discomfort, wear well-fitting bra 24h/day.  
🗑
a. Determine the number of calories per day needed by a 3-day-old infant weighing 3.6 kg (81b). b. Calculate the number of ounces of breast milk or formula (each having 20 calories per ounce) the infant needs daily. c. What are the infant’s daily fluid   See p. 526-527 to help calculate  
🗑
Describe changes in composition and appearance of colostrum, transitional milk, and mature milk.   Colostrum is produced first 7 to 10 days; thick, yellow substance that is rich in immunoglobulins, esp IgA. has laxative effects & high in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, & minerals. lower in carbs, fat, lactose, and some vitamins than mature milk

The infant’s lips should be ito 11/2 inches from the base of the nipple if there is enough of the areola in the mouth.  
🗑
