Answer to Question 1

C
The mother must eat a well-balanced diet to provide the most nutritious milk and to maintain her own health and energy. An extra 500 calories per day is needed to support breastfeeding.

Answer to Question 2

C
Breastfeeding teaching should include positioning for infant feeding, bringing the infant close to the breast so the infant can latch on to the nipple and areola, and allowing the infant to fully empty the first breast before offering the other so that the infant receives both the foremilk (watery first milk high in lactose) and the hindmilk (high in fat content for weight gain).
