Marcia returned home Wednesday with her new infant daughter. On the phone with her best friend Anna, she expressed some concern: I am so tired, and I feel like I just don't know what to do Anna has had three children already. The best advice Anna can give to Marcia at this time is:
a. There's a lot to learn. The first thing is to identify the baby's preferences so you can respond appropriately.
b. There's a lot to learn, and I'm here to help you. I'll show you how infants like to be comforted.
