Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The Institute of Medicine suggests an increase of 500 calories a day for the first 6 months of breastfeeding and 400 calories a day for 7-9 months. This is less than the actual need because it is assumed that some fat has been stored during pregnancy and can be used for milk production. The precise number of calories the mother needs depends on the size of the infant and its appetite and on the size and activities of the mother.
