Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
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?

Answer: Colostrum

Colostrum contains a lot of nutrients that the baby needs as he begins his life.
2. In the hospital, you've already found out how difficult it can be when learning how to properly breastfeed. But not to worry- there's a professional who guides mothers on proper breastfeeding, found in the hospital or you baby's pediatrician office. What are these professionals commonly known as?

Answer: Lactation Specialist

The lactation specialist will usually come to you after the baby is born, in the hospital, to show you the different ways you can hold your baby when breastfeeding, how you should sit to be the most comfortable, and other important things moms should know when learning to properly breastfeed
3. Breastfed babies and formula fed babies will have different types of bowel movements. A normal bowel movement for a breastfed baby will look:

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.
4. In the beginning, it is easy for nursing mother's nipples to become tender, sore, and cracked. What substance do some mothers use as breast therapy, to rid themselves of these pains?

Answer: Lanolin

Lanolin, used for medicinal purposes, can be used to bring relief to many things, from cracked nipples, lips, and skin, to diaper rashes, minor cuts, and minor burns.
5. 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?

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.
6. After months of bonding with baby, you're forced to go back to work. You need to opt for breastmilk expression, which is a way for you to give baby your breastmilk in a bottle while you're not there. Which one of these is a common method of breastmilk expression?

Answer: They are all common methods

For working, nursing mothers, the breastpump will become a best friend. A manual breastpump may not be idea for a busy working mother, who only has a little time throughout the day to pump, so electrical pumps work great. However, for those mothers who don't have either a manual or electrical breastpump, manual hand expression, with the proper technique, also works.
7. As baby gets older, you may find that it is not as easy to produce as much breastmilk as you did when baby was younger, so you decide to feed baby both breastmilk and formula. What term is used when a mother adds formula to her baby's feeding schedule as a secondary meal or snack?

Answer: Supplementing

Supplementing can be a hard choice for moms who desire to solely feed their baby breastmilk, but it may be necessary for mother to do if her breastmilk production is not keeping up with baby's demand.
8. To increase breast milk supply, you should nurse baby as often as possible. Which of these should you also drink most of to help increase supply?:

Answer: Water

Water is the main part of breast milk, so drinking plenty of it yourself will help the supply. Any fluids are useful, although alcohol is best avoided.
9. Baby is almost 1 year old, so you decide it's time to get back in shape. After a few weeks at it, you're happy to notice some pounds lost, but soon after, you realize your breastmilk production has decreased. This is probably due to the fact that you've:

Answer: Started eating less than 1500 calories a day

It is recommended, for normal breastmilk production, that a lactating woman consume at least 1800 calories a day. That is why is it is not recommended for nursing mothers to diet.
10. 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?

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.
