Which is the priority teaching tip the nurse should provide about bottle-feeding?

A. Infants may stool with each feeding in the first weeks: Stool frequency varies among infants and does not directly impact feeding safety. While normal, it is not the primary concern for preventing complications. B. Some infants take longer to feed than others: Individual feeding pace is expected and generally does not pose immediate risks. Timing alone is secondary to ensuring safe swallowing and airway protection. C. Feed newborn at least every 3 to 4 hours: Establishing a feeding schedule supports nutrition and growth but does not directly address the immediate risk of airway compromise. D. Hold infant semi-upright while feeding: Proper positioning during bottle-feeding is crucial to reduce the risk of aspiration, which can lead to choking, respiratory distress, or pneumonia. Holding the infant semi-upright allows better control of the milk flow and protects the airway, making it the most important teaching point for safe feeding.
