ANS: A
At 1 week of age, an infant's stomach has a capacity of about 90 mL. Attempting to feed 120 mL is too much at one time. Weighing the baby and plotting her growth and having the mother demonstrate feeding and burping techniques are not incorrect, but the mother needs additional information to safely feed her baby. Simply reassuring the mother does not give her the information she needs to feed the baby appropriately.
