From Quiz Why Breastfeed?

Answer: Colostrum

Colostrum is formed in the mammary glands during the late stages of pregnancy. Colostrum has numerous important benefits. It has laxative properties and aids the infant in passing his/her first stool, called meconium. It helps in preventing jaundice by forcing out the excess bilirubin (a product from the metabolism of blood). It has important immunoglobulins like IgA which protect and enhance the baby's immune system. Vitamins and minerals are also provided by the colostrum. The carbohydrate and fat content are low in the colostrum. The colostrum actually appears a little yellowish. The fat content of breast milk gradually increases over the days.

Answer: Co-Sleeping Method

Co-sleeping is when mother lays baby next to her, normally on baby's side, and latches baby on. Babies will then nurse, and typically fall back to sleep. As well, mother may fall asleep too. Some doctors do not suggest this because they feel it is dangerous...someone may roll over on baby or baby could get suffocated somehow. But some doctors, including famous doctor, Dr. Sears, believe co-sleeping is essential.

From Quiz Why Breastfeed?

Answer: Mastitis

It's mastitis. Proctitis is the inflammation of the rectum. Conjunctival inflammation in the eye is called conjunctivitis and inflammation of the gall bladder is called cholecystitis. So of course mastitis, which means inflammation of the breast tissue, will cause some difficulty in breast feeding. All though the others may do the same depending upon morbidity but for sure mastitis will pose a bigger hindrance. Mastitis usually presents with pain, redness and fever. It can be caused by an infection by a bacteria.

From Quiz Motor and Social Development in Early Childhood

Answer: Facial expressions

A baby exhibits recognisable facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, looks of surprise, disgust, and so on, almost as soon as they are born. Since a child under two years would not have particularly reliable verbal skills, nor could a mother's subjective viewpoint be considered factual, facial expressions are used as the main determinant of emotions like anger, joy, fear, excitement, and distress.

Answer: on demand

Babies should not be put on a schedule. They may want a big meal, and then be full for 2 or 3 hours. They may want a light snack, and then need to eat one hour later. If the baby nurses when she is hungry, the mother's body will supply the proper amount of milk. How often a baby nurses determines the mother's supply, not how much the baby takes at each feeding.

Answer: 3 weeks

From Quiz Why Breastfeed?

Answer: Rapid ejection of breast milk from nipple

It is the rapid ejection of breast milk during breastfeeding. This may be a big problem for infants to breastfeed as the rate at which milk is ejected is too fast. The infant may swallow too quickly and find it quite uncomfortable and may develop an aversion to breastfeeding. The infant may begin to reject breast milk, leading to lower nursing duration in total.
