Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. Among some traditional cultures around the world, it is believed that colostrum is unclean or even harmful to a newborn. Because of this ancient belief, mothers living the Middle East and parts of Asia even today discard their colostrum or wait 2 to 4 days to begin breastfeeding, when their true milk arrives. This mother would begin breastfeeding the third or fourth day after the birth.
