Question Description
Providing parents with information about immunizations, feeding, sleep, hygiene, safety, and other common concerns is an important nursing responsibility. Appropriate anticipatory guidance can assist with achieving some of the goals and objectives determined by the U.S. government to be important in improving the overall health of infants. Nurses are in a good position to offer antic-ipatory guidance on the basis of the infant’s growth and achievement of developmental milestones.
The main point in teaching being that research shows breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months has huge health benefits for the baby to include antibodies, decreased risk for infections, as well as promotes a special bond and relaxation method for both baby and mom (Jarvis, C). In addition breast fed infants typically follow a growth pattern that is appropriate for their development. Ultimately breastfed infants have a greater chance for increased health status over their lives when breastfed, but the specific barriers to breastfeeding need to be addressed if the benefits are not outweighing the costs to the mother.
