Mr. and Mrs. Escandar have brought in their 4-day-old infant boy for a newborn exam. The mother and father are concerned that their baby seems to be crying excessively and appears to be “hungry all the time.” The mother reports that she exclusively breastfeeds her infant. The infant is measured and weighed; you estimate that he has lost 5% of his birth weight. On exam, you notice caput succedaneum and jaundice.
· What should the APRN tell the parents about the baby’s 5% weight loss and crying?
· How many wet and soiled diapers should the baby have at 4 days old?
· How would you manage this baby’s jaundice?
· What more should the APRN know about the baby–mother dyad breastfeeding experience?
· What anticipatory guidance would the APRN provide Mr. and Mrs. Corrigan?
