Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When weaning, breastfeeding should be discontinued gradually by first omitting one breastfeeding a day and substituting a formula feeding. Heat to the breasts does not suppress milk production. Pumping the breasts will continue milk production. If weaning before 12 months, the baby should be weaned to formula and not whole milk.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The cardiac sphincter and nervous control of the stomach is immature, which may lead to uncoordinated peristaltic activity and frequent regurgitation. Placement of the newborn is unrelated to regurgitation. Most digestive enzymes are available at birth, but they are limited in their ability to digest complex carbohydrates and fats; this results in fatty stools, not regurgitation. Immaturity of the pharyngoesophageal sphincter and absence of lower esophageal peristaltic waves, not an underdeveloped pyloric sphincter, also contribute to the reflux of gastric contents.
