A nurse is teaching about crib safety with the parent of a newborn.
Which of the following statements by the client indicates understanding of the teaching?.

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

While some mothers with postpartum depression may have thoughts of harming their infant, it’s not the most common manifestation.

Choice B rationale:

Postpartum depression typically begins within the first few weeks after childbirth, not necessarily within 48 hours.

Choice C rationale:

Psychotic behavior is more commonly associated with postpartum psychosis, a rare and severe form of postpartum psychiatric illness, not postpartum depression.

Choice D rationale:

Women with a history of depression are indeed more likely to experience postpartum depression. This is the correct answer.

The correct answer is choice A.

Choice A rationale:

A newborn who is getting enough breast milk should wet 6 to 12 diapers per day. This is because adequate hydration, a sign of sufficient milk intake, leads to frequent urination.

Choice B rationale:

A wake cycle of 30 to 60 minutes after each feeding does not necessarily indicate the baby is getting enough milk. It could be due to other factors like sleep patterns or general health.

Choice C rationale:

A baby should not sleep at least 6 hours between feedings. Newborns need to be fed every 2-3 hours.

Choice D rationale:

While burping can be a sign of a good feeding, it does not necessarily mean the baby is getting enough milk. It’s more related to the baby’s digestion of the milk.
