Final answer:

One parent statement needs follow-up: 'I will add the medication to a bottle of formula before feeding my baby.'


Explanation:

The statement by a parent that would require follow-up is:

  • "I will add the medication to a bottle of formula before feeding my baby."

This statement is incorrect as medications should not be mixed with formula unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider. It is essential to administer medications separately to ensure accurate dosing and effectiveness.
