Answer to Question 1

C
Formula should not be saved from one feeding to the next because of the danger of rapid growth of bacteria in warm milk.
This is not the reason for using fresh bottles with each feeding. The danger of bacterial growth is the main concern.
The danger of bacterial growth is the main concern with saving the formula from one feeding to the next.
Formula will have bacterial growth before turning sour. This will cause problems in a newborn with an immature immune system.

Answer to Question 2

B
Propping the bottle increases the likelihood of choking and aspiration if regurgitation occurs.
Dental caries become a problem when milk stays on the gums for a long period of time. This may cause a buildup of bacteria that will alter the growing teeth buds. However, this is not the most serious consequence.
Ear infections can occur when the warm formula runs into the ear and bacterial growth occurs. However, this is not the most serious consequence.
Colic can occur, but it is not the most serious consequence.
