How |much |milk |does |an |infant |need? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-It's |important |to |remember |
that |the |infant |just |needs |enough |milk
Each |mother's |milk |is..? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--is |unique,
-changes |to |meet |the |needs |of |her |infant, |and
-changes |depending |on |gestational |age |and |health |of |her |infant, |time |of |day, |and |the |time |
during |feeding.
What |does |not |change |in |breastmilk |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |quality |of |milk |for |the |infant
Changes |in |breastmilk: |gestational |age |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Preterm |milk |is |higher |in |
protein |and |anti-infective |properties |to |meet |the |need |of |preterm |infants.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |stages |of |lactation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Stage |I—Most |women |
begin |to |produce |colostrum |in |the |last |trimester |of |pregnancy |and |for |about |2-4 |days |after |
birth. |Colostrum |has |higher |concentration |of |protein, |minerals, |and |immunoglobulins |but |has |
less |fat |than |mature |milk

Stage |II—the |onset |of |copious |milk |secretion |after |birth |(days |2-3 |to |8 |postpartum)
Stage |III—secretion |of |mature |milk
Colostrum |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-is |the |first |milk |available |to |the |infant. |Most |women |begin |
to |produce |colostrum |in |the |last |trimester |of |pregnancy |and |for |about |the |first |2-3 |days |after |
, birth. |It |has |high |density |and |low |volume, |which |is |perfect |for |newborn |stomach |capacity. |It |
also |is |very |high |in |immunoglobulins, |especially |IgA. |Colostrum |is |often |considered |the |"first |
immunization" |as |infants |are |born |with |an |immature |immune |system. |Immunoglobulins |and |
other |anti-infective |properties |are |even |higher |in |preterm |colostrum. |This |is |especially |
important |for |preterm |infants.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |time |of |day |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Mothers |often |feel |fuller |and |have
|more |milk |in |the |morning, |and |by |the |evening, |they |feel |less |full. |In |the |night, |human |milk |
tends |to |be |higher |in |fat |content |and |lower |in |volume. |This |helps |the |infant |have |more |
extended |periods |of |sleep |throughout |the |night.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |maternal |diet |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |total |amount |of |fat |in |the |
mother's |diet |does |not |affect |the |amount |of |fat |in |human |milk, |but |the |types |of |fat |in |her |diet
|influence |the |fatty |acids |in |her |human |milk.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |age |of |infant |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Each |mother's |milk |continually |
changes |to |meet |the |needs |of |her |infant |from |neonate |to |toddler. |The |infant's |salivary |
amylase |fine-tunes |what |is |in |the |breast |milk |to |provide |exactly |what |the |infant |needs.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |between |breasts |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Breastfeeding |two |siblings |of
|different |ages |is |called |tandem |nursing. |In |this |case, |the |body |always |compensates |to |meet |
the |needs |of |the |infant |and |the |colostrum |quickly |changes |to |milk. |Because |each |breast |
produces |milk |independently |of |the |other, |the |breast |milk |will |adapt |to |feeding |two |children |
with |different |needs |if |each |nurses |only |on |one |breast.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |illness |in |mother |or |infant |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |mother's |
immune |system |will |create |antibodies |in |response |to |pathogens |her |infant |is |exposed |to. |
These |specific |anti-infective |factors |go |into |her |milk |to |help |protect |her |infant.
Changes |in |breastmilk: |volume |of |human |milk |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-It |is |well |known |that |
human |milk |production |is |dependent |on |infant |demand. |The |breast |balances |supply |to |meet |
