Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Sitting a baby in an infant chair for a half an hour after a feeding can help reduce spitting up. Forceful episodes of vomitus and vomiting large amounts after feedings should be reported to the health care provider. Changing the formula will not impact the amount of spitting up the baby.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Stools of breastfed infants are generally softer than those of formula-fed infants. Stools of breastfed infants are not fewer in number, hard, nor have a strong odor.
