Answer to Question 1

Cuddle and hold the infant in a semi-upright position during feeding. This positioning is believed to decrease the occurrence of middle ear infections. During and after the feeding, the infant should be positioned upright and burped to release gas in the stomach and to help prevent regurgitation.

Answer to Question 2

True
