A nurse is teaching new parents about basic newborn care related to sleep, feeding, and crying. Which parent statement indicates the nurse's teaching was effective?

A. "I should always place my baby on their belly to sleep to prevent flat spots on the head.": Placing a newborn on their stomach increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Supine positioning is recommended for safe sleep, and alternating head positions can help prevent positional plagiocephaly. B. "I will let my baby sleep in an infant swing because it helps soothe them better.": Sleeping in an infant swing is unsafe due to risk of suffocation or positional asphyxia. Safe sleep guidelines recommend a firm, flat sleep surface in a crib or bassinet without soft objects. C. "I will feed my baby whenever I see early hunger cues like rooting or sucking on fingers, rather than waiting for the baby to cry.": Responding to early hunger cues supports healthy feeding, promotes bonding, and prevents excessive crying. Feeding on cue ensures the infant receives adequate nutrition and supports growth. D. "I will wait for my baby to cry before offering a feeding so I can be sure they are hungry.": Crying is a late hunger cue and may indicate that the infant is already distressed. Waiting until crying can make feeding more difficult and may affect feeding success and weight gain.
