A, B, D
Feedback:
The LATCH breastfeeding charting system is used to measure a mother's ability to breastfeed independently. Criteria that indicate the mother can breastfeed independently include everted nipples, breasts are soft and nontender, and the baby swallows spontaneously and frequently. The mother having to hold the nipple in the baby's mouth and the nurse assisting with positioning indicate the mother is not independent in breastfeeding.
