Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Breastfeeding should begin as soon after birth as possible, ideally while the woman is still in the birthing room and while the infant is in the first reactivity period. Breastfeeding should not wait until the baby rests. Twenty-four hours is too long to wait to begin breastfeeding. Mixing breastfeeding and formula feeding is not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Factors that can affect attachment include separation of the infant and parents for long times during the day, such as if the infant was being cared for in the nursery throughout the day. Unlimited visiting hours, rooming-in, and infant contact immediately after birth promote bonding and attachment.
