A nurse is teaching the parent of an infant who has a new diagnosis of heart failure about nutrition. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Allowing the infant to self-soothe by crying before feeding can lead to increased energy expenditure and should be avoided in heart failure. B. Allowing 45 minutes per feeding could exhaust the infant and lead to insufficient intake. C. Implementing a 3-hour feeding schedule is recommended for infants with heart failure to ensure they are getting adequate nutrition without becoming too fatigued. Shorter, more frequent feedings are easier for the infant to tolerate. D. A recumbent position during feeding can worsen respiratory distress in infants with heart failure, and a semi-upright position is generally preferred.
