Which is a sign that the infant has not successfully breastfed?
  1. The infant is taking supplemental formula after breastfeeding.
  2. The neonate's stools darken at about the 3rd day of life.
  3. The stools are turned yellow by the 2nd day of life.
  4. The mother's breasts soften after breastfeeding.
Explanation
Answer: D - Some of the signs of successful breastfeeding include softening of the mother's breasts, hearing the infant swallow, increases in the number of wet diapers, lightening of the stools by the third day of life, and yellow stools by the 5th day of life. The infant's taking supplemental formula after breastfeeding is not an indication of successful or non-successful breastfeeding. It is not a reliable indicator

El tomar fórmula refleja que la madre no está dándole suficiente cantidad de leche, ya sea esto real o una percepción probablemente porque tiene un bebé que llora más. Al darle fórmula, ésta compite con su producción de leche materna, afectando con el tiempo aún más. Muchas madres que amamantan a libre demanda, suelen tener los senos suaves y blandos al terminar de amamantar y eso está bien, lo que no estaría bien es que sus senos continúen turgentes después de tomar el pecho. Pienso que necesitan corregir la respuesta correcta.
