A Mother Expresses the Desire to Breastfeed Her Baby Who

A mother expresses the desire to breastfeed her baby who is preterm and is admitted at the neonatal intensive care unit. The nurse should:

A) Discourage the mother because of the time and effort it will take to pump her breasts
B) Instruct the mother that breast milk is inadequate for a preterm infant because it does not contain all the necessary nutrients
C) Support the mother's decision and explain that even if her baby is able to breastfeed, the baby may easily be exhausted
D) Tell the patient that this is not permissible because the baby is being fed by gavage
