Which statement indicates that an expectant mother needs further teaching on breastfeeding and nutrient needs?

The statement indicating that an expectant mother needs further teaching on breastfeeding and nutrient needs is that breastfeeding infants should receive vitamin D injections. The correct understanding is that while vitamin D is essential for infants, it is typically provided in the form of a supplement, not through injections. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfed infants receive a daily supplement of 400 IU of vitamin D starting within the first few days of life to prevent vitamin D deficiency and rickets. Thus, the notion of giving an injection suggests a misunderstanding of the proper method of supplementation for breastfed infants.

In contrast, the other statements reflect accurate information about breastfeeding practices and infant nutrition. The recommendation for extra water for breastfed newborns correctly addresses hydration concerns, particularly in specific circumstances. Furthermore, the acknowledgement that infants should receive formula from the start suggests a misunderstanding of exclusive breastfeeding recommendations. Finally, breastfeeding for at least six months aligns with standard guidelines that emphasize the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding during this period.
