A postpartum woman, who gave birth 12 hours ago, is breastfeeding her baby. She tells her nurse that she is concerned that her baby is not getting enough food since her milk has not come in. The best response for this patient is:
 
  a. I understand your concern, but your baby will be okay until your milk comes in.
  b. Your baby seems content, so you should not worry about him getting enough to eat.
  c. Milk normally comes in around the third day. Prior to that, he is getting colostrum which is high in protein and immunoglobulins which are important for your baby's health.
  d. You can bottle feed until your milk comes in.
