Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
During each well-child visit the nurse should monitor the growth in height and weight. The food records should also be evaluated to assess adequacy of intake.

Answer to Question 2

A
Nursing by the infant stimulates prolactin secretion which promotes milk production. Nursing does lead to weight gain in the infant, but not specifically body fat. It is likely to decrease, rather than increase, maternal body fat. Breast milk is easily digested but its digestibility is not affected by the infant nursing.
