Ans: A, B, C
The mother should wash her hands prior to breastfeeding the infant. There is no need to wash the breasts in most circumstances. The best time to feed the infant is on demand rather than hourly, and there is no need to supplement breastfeeding with water. The C position and stroking the nipple against the infant's face promote effective breastfeeding.
