Answer to Question 1
C
The baby needs more calories than the mother, so this misinformation needs to be clarified. The woman who is lactating needs 500 kcal/day above the usual allowance because the production of milk increases energy requirements. Infants need an energy intake of approximately 108 kcal/kg of body weight in the first half of infancy and 98 kcal/kg in the second half. Infants need about 100 to 120 mL/kg/day of fluid because a large portion of total body weight is water. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breast milk or formula as the major source of food for up to 1 year in age. Breast milk or formula provides sufficient nutrition for the first 4 to 6 months of life. The benefits of breastfeeding include reduced food allergies and intolerances, fewer infant infections, and easier digestion. In addition, breast milk is convenient, fresh, always the correct temperature, and economical, because it is less expensive than formula. Infants should not have regular cow's milk during the first year of life. Infants receiving cow's milk have been found to have lower intakes of iron, linoleic acid, and vitamin E; and excessive amounts of sodium, potassium, and protein.
