Rebecca tells you that Tanya, her 3-week-old breastfed infant, has colic. You know that
the most common reason for "colic" is:
a) Infant isn't being fed enough
b) Mother is smoking more than 1/3 pack of cigarettes per day
c) Mother has too much breast milk
d) A diet that is very high in dairy products - ANSa) Infant isn't being fed enough
Stacey visits you stating her "milk hasn't come in yet". Her baby is 10-days-old and
hasn't regained her birth weight. After taking a history, you discover that Stacey
continues to have heavy bleeding that contains blood clots. What do you suspect is the
reason for the low milk supply?
a) Retained placental fragments causing a decrease in prolactin levels
b) Retained placental fragments causing estrogen levels to remain high
c) Retained placental fragments causing progesterone levels to remain high
d) Retained placental fragments causing a drop in the prolactin inhibitory factor (PIF) -
ANSc) Retained placental fragments causing progesterone levels to remain high
Krystal Starr is undecided about whether or not to breastfeed her baby because she
smokes a pack of cigarettes per day. Which of the following is the most important to
discuss with her?
a) Unless she can cut down to 15 cigarettes or less per day, she should not breastfeed
b) She should never smoke around the baby, and only after the baby has been fed
c) It's not uncommon for babies whose mothers smoke to be more colicky than babies
whose mothers don't smoke
d) It's far better for the baby's health that a smoking mother breastfeed than formula-
feed - ANSd) It's far better for the baby's health that a smoking mother breastfeed
than formula-feed
The most beneficial method employers can use to assist mothers to continue
breastfeeding after returning to work is:

Robyn visits the outpatient clinic stating 10-day-old baby, Jeffery, isn't receiving enough
milk. You note he latches well, he is positioned appropriately. Jeffery has good body

the nipple is nicely rounded. You do ac/pc weights and you find little milk is transferred.
Possible reasons for the poor transfer of milk include which of the following:
a) Bilateral breast reduction surgery
b) Damage to the 3rd intercostal nerve
c) Maternal weight gain of 25 lbs.
d) Mother with T2DM - ANSa) Bilateral breast reduction surgery
You are teaching a course in lactation management and Kara, one of the students, asks
if a mother has to have a radioactive isotope for which she needs to pump her milk,
does she need to dump the milk in every instance. You tell her that:
a) Yes, it's important to dump the milk
b) That is an excellent question to which no one knows the answer
c) Because the antioxidants decrease in milk after 48 hours, it's not recommended that
the milk be stored longer than that period of time
d) If she freezes the milk for 8-10 half-lives, the radioactivity will be virtually eliminated -
ANSd) If she freezes the milk for 8-10 half-lives, the radioactivity will be virtually
eliminated
Fatty acids in breast milk...
a) Are increased by an increase of fat in the maternal diet
b) Are synthesized by the mammary gland
c) Decrease slowly over the first two months
d) Are detrimental to infant neural development - ANSb) Are synthesized by the
mammary gland
You are visiting your friend Alexandra and her son, Samuel. You notice Samuel pulling
himself to a standing position and taking a few steps while hanging on to the couch. You
know that the average age for this milestone is:
a) 7-9 months
b) 9-12 months
c) 12-14 months
d) 14-18 months - ANSb) 9-12 months
Cindy calls you saying her internist prescribed a new drug, "Diabloc" for her Crohn's
