The parent asks how to tell whether the infant is getting milk. Which conclusion about this feed is best supported by the visual examination?
Visual examination: Day 4, about 8 minutes into a feed. The infant's lips are turned outward and the chin is pressed into the breast. The jaw makes wide movements that reach back toward the ear. After every one or two sucks, the chin holds for a moment at its lowest point before closing, and a soft "k-ah" sound follows each of these pauses. The infant's hands, clenched at the start of the feed, are now open and relaxed.
