Question 2

Tanya is a new mother to a four week old baby girl named Lola. Tanya is committed to breastfeeding her daughter, but is feeling frustrated by the fact that her daughter Lola never seems satiated. Tanya's friend Deb is over for a visit,
 
  and notices that Tanya has Lola breastfeed on one breast for a short amount of time before switching to the other breast. Deb tells Tanya that she thinks she knows why Lola never seems satiated. What is Deb most likely thinking?
 
  a. When a baby feeds, breast milk is actually released from both breasts simultaneously; thus, Lola only gets the initial high calorie milk from the first, and not the second breast.
  b. Experts recommend that mother's breastfeed mainly from one particular breast for all of the feedings, as switching breasts during feedings diminishes the overall supply of milk.
  c. Because Tanya is switching breasts after a brief period, it is unlikely that Lola is feeding from Tanya's first breast long enough to receive the hindmilk, which is highest in calories.
  d. The recommended method for receiving the hindmilk, the high calorie milk, is to alternate between the breasts for a minimum of three times for each feeding, to maximize the stimulation of the nipples.
