| Admin Total Posts: 890 | Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2009 04:06 am Dear User, The correct answer is A. Here are WHO's comments - Breastfeeding is the normal way of providing young infants with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. Virtually all mothers can breastfeed, provided they have accurate information, and the support of their family, the health care system and society at large. Colostrum, the yellowish, sticky breast milk produced at the end of pregnancy, is recommended by WHO as the perfect food for the newborn, and feeding should be initiated within the first hour after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond. Thanks for pointing out the error. We have corrected the answer with explanation. With regards, Netmedicos |
