Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Head banging that begins during the second half of the first year of life and continuing through to the preschool period, associated with naptime or bedtime, and lasting under 15 minutes can be considered normal. Children use this measure to relax and fall asleep. Head banging does not mean that the child is eating too much protein or is not getting enough to eat. The child does not need to be seen immediately by a health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Gums are sore and tender before a new tooth breaks the surface. As soon as the tooth is through, the tenderness passes. A high temperature is not a normal expectation with teething and should be reported to the health care provider. The child may resist chewing because of the sore gum; however, it may not last for 2 days. Playing may or may not be affected. Constipation is not an expectation with teething.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
