Child Care Trivia Questions
1. After baby is born, he's already prepared to nurse. But your milk won't come in for about 2-6 days from the time your baby came into the world. What is the first substance the baby will receive from you while nursing?

From Quiz What Do You Know About Breastfeeding?

Answer: Colostrum

Colostrum contains a lot of nutrients that the baby needs as he begins his life.

2. Pediatricians recommend beginning solid foods with the least allergenic food, which is:

From Quiz Caring for Young Children

Answer: rice cereal

Your doctor can provide you with information on when to introduce various foods. Some foods can cause allergic reactions if introduced before the child is old enough.

3. What is the name for the first few drops of breast milk?

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.

4. How soon after childbirth should the baby be put to the breast?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: within the first hour

If the baby is put to the breast very soon after birth, nursing can be easier because the baby learns the proper sucking technique right away. Also, nursing can actually help get the placenta out.

5. Breastfed babies and formula fed babies will have different types of bowel movements. A normal bowel movement for a breastfed baby will look:

From Quiz What Do You Know About Breastfeeding?

Answer: Yellow and Seedy

Breastfed babies will have a yellow seedy bowel movement, which indicates that the baby is getting good breast milk. The pediatrician will make sure to tell new mom this, so she doesn't think something's wrong with the baby, like diarrhea.

6. Full color vision does not develop until about four to seven months of age. Why is that?

From Quiz Caring for Young Children

Answer: The cones don't fully develop until around four months.

The cone cells are the color receptors. The human eye contains six to seven million cones.

7. Where should the baby's tongue be during nursing?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: between baby's lower lip and the breast

The tongue should be visible if someone looks at the lower lip. This positioning of the baby's mouth helps jaw development.

8. Baby finally has gotten the hang of breastfeeding and so have you. But he still wakes up 2-3 times a night to nurse. Although not recommended by some doctors, what sleeping method will allow you to sleep and baby to nurse throughout the night?

From Quiz What Do You Know About Breastfeeding?

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.

9. Which child development researcher developed the principle of the socio-cultural theory?

From Quiz Motor and Social Development in Early Childhood

Answer: Vygotsky

Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory suggests that children acquire the thought and behavioural patterns acceptable in the particular society by engaging with and modelling the actions of older members of the community.

10. What does the word 'weaning' mean?

From Quiz Why Breastfeed?

Answer: Introducing into the diet of babies some supplementary food and reducing breastmilk

Weaning should be started around six months after birth. At this stage, supplementary food which are rich in nutrients are to be included in the babies diet along with breast milk at regular intervals. The baby ideally should be fully weaned at the age of two years when breastfeeding is often completely stopped.

11. What is one, long established, method of helping relieve engorgement?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: cabbage leaves

Cabbage leaves can be put in the bra, with a hole for the nipple. The leaves should be replaced when they wilt. No oils should be rubbed on the breast unless they are approved for breastfeeding mothers.

12. What can cause difficulty in breastfeeding?

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.

13. When determining the emotions experienced by an infant (under two years of age), the main factor researchers depend on is what?

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.

14. How often should a healthy baby nurse?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

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.

15. How long is it recommended that a parent wait before letting a nursing baby have a pacifier?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: 3 weeks

In regards to breastfeeding, the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends waiting at least 3 weeks to avoid nipple confusion. Nipple confusion occurs when a baby is exposed to more than one type of nipple (ex. mother's nipple and pacifier nipple), and the baby doesn't know which type of suck to use when.

16. What is overactive let-down?

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.

17. What should a breastfeeding mother do if the day is particularly hot?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: drink lots of water herself and nurse frequently

The mother's body will actually change the consistency of breast milk to suit the weather. If it is a hot day, the breast milk will have a higher component of water than usual to satisfy the baby's thirst. Pretty cool, eh?

18. Yay, your baby is 1 year old and so you decide to stop breastfeeding and convert baby over to cow's milk. What term is used to describe the process of stopping baby from nursing?

From Quiz What Do You Know About Breastfeeding?

Answer: Weaning

Although doctors urge mothers to breastfeed at least until baby is a year old, some mothers continue after that as well, which is perfectly fine. Once baby is 1, however, he is old enough to begin drinking cow's milk.

19. After expressing, most sources recommend that breast milk can be safely kept at room temperature?

From Quiz Breastfeeding is Best

Answer: up to six hours

Four to six hours is the normal time limit for room temperature, or 24 hours in a cool box, with ice packs. Breast milk has properties that actually slow down bacteria growth.
