Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
To promote attachment, the infant should be held during feedings. It is not necessary to heat the formula. Bottles should never be propped because it increases the risk of aspiration and ear infections. Leftover milk may become contaminated and should always be discarded after the feeding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The infant is least likely to be allergic to breast milk. However, breastfeeding is more restrictive for the mother, and the infant eats more often. Breast milk has less protein than formula, not more.
