Answer to Question 1

1,3
Rationale 1: Milk is a protein and contains no glutens.
Rationale 2: Gravy is made with flour. Unless the parents know the source of the flour, gravy should be avoided. Most types of gravy contain wheat.
Rationale 3: All fruits are gluten free.
Rationale 4: Corn is acceptable. Cream sauce will probably have a vegetable protein as a filler.
Rationale 5: There are some brands of rice cakes that are gluten-free, but without reading the label, these should be avoided.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2,3,5
Rationale 1: While mothers who have heart disease may not be able to tolerate breastfeeding due to the added work load for the heart, it is not a contraindication.
Rationale 2: Since the AIDS virus is transmitted by blood and body fluid, breastfeeding would be contraindicated in this case.
Rationale 3: The infant with galactosemia cannot metabolize galactose, which is found in formula and breast milk.
Rationale 4: The size of the breasts do not serve as a contraindication to breastfeeding. Many women with small breasts successfully breastfeed.
Rationale 5: Most medications will appear in the breast milk. Therefore, each case should be considered individually. Until approved by the pediatrician, medication use should be a contraindication.
Global Rationale:
