Answer to Question 1

Answers should show an understanding of the extent of infant undernutrition and its
consequences. The answer should be innovative, yet realistic. Administration,
funding, and clientele should all be addressed.

Answer to Question 2

The advantages of breast-feeding include the release of hormones that reduce pain,
encourage attachment, regulate various internal organs, determine the timing of
sexual maturation, and provide immunities. Also, breast milk is more digestible and
contains more vitamins and minerals than cow's milk. Further, breast-fed babies
have fewer allergies and stomachaches. The disadvantages of breast feeding
include the potential to transmit teratogens that the mother might ingest, the family's
inability to participate with the mother in the feeding, and the lack of convenience of
feeding on demand, especially in a society that is not entirely comfortable with
breast-feeding in public.
