Block Feeding - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- A pattern of feeding: used to deal
with an over-abundant milk supply. In block feeding, the mother offers the baby
only one breast for one, two, or three feedings to generate mild local pressure to
slow down milk production. Then she offers the other breast for another block of
time.
,Blocked Duct - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- A condition in which milk from one
part of the breast does not flow well and forms a lump of solidified milk that
blocks the milk duct.
Brachial Plexus Injury - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- Decreased movement or

anti-infection protection to the baby and their gut microbiome.
