A nurse is teaching a new parent about breastfeeding her 2-week-old infant. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale: A. "Manually expressing my milk will decrease my milk supply": Milk supply is maintained by frequent emptying of the breast. Manual expression, like breastfeeding or pumping, actually stimulates continued milk production through the supply-and-demand mechanism. B. "After 5 to 10 minutes when the breasts emptied, my baby should be removed from the breast”: Infants should not be removed from the breast based on time alone. Breastfeeding duration varies, and babies should be allowed to nurse until they release the breast or show signs of fullness. C. "The more my baby is at the breast sucking, the more milk I will produce”: Milk production is driven by infant demand. Frequent suckling stimulates prolactin release, encouraging ongoing milk synthesis and maintaining an adequate supply. D. "My baby should always start on the same breast when feeding”: Breastfeeding should be alternated between breasts to promote equal milk production and prevent engorgement. Starting on the same breast consistently may lead to uneven milk supply.
