Answer to Question 1

A
Colostrum is important because it has high levels of the nutrients needed by the neonate and helps protect against infection.
Supplementation is not necessary. It will decrease stimulation to the breast and decrease the production of milk.
It is important for the mother to feel comfortable in this role before discharge, but the impor-tance of the colostrum to the infant is top priority.
Colostrum provides immunities and enzymes necessary to clean the gastrointestinal system, among other things.
