A new father indicates he feels left out of the new family relationship since he is not able to bond the same way as the breast-feeding mother. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
1. This is normal and these feelings will go away within a few days.
2. Holding, talking to, and playing with the infant will facilitate bonding between baby and Dad.
3. Bonding occurs later in the first year of life and Dad can become involved when the infant is better able to recognize him.
4. Maternal infant bonding takes priority over paternal infant bonding.
