Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
This statement indicates that the client understands the importance of maternal-fetal bonding after delivery, which is the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral connection that mothers develop toward their babies. Skin-to-skin contact is one of the ways to promote bonding and attachment between the mother and the baby.
breastfeeding can be initiated as soon as possible after delivery, not after 24 hours. Breastfeeding is another way to enhance bonding and attachment, as well as to provide optimal nutrition and immunity for the baby.

The partner can support the mother in other ways, such as providing emotional support, helping with household chores, or holding the baby after breastfeeding.
keeping the baby in the nursery for most of the time may prevent the mother from developing a close relationship with the baby. The mother should have frequent contact with the baby and respond to the baby’s cues.
