Question 1 of 5
What is the recommended method of feeding for a term infant?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breastfeeding is the recommended method for term infants due to numerous benefits such as optimal nutrition, immune system support, bonding, and reduced risk of infections and chronic diseases. Breast milk is tailored to the infant's needs, easily digestible, and promotes healthy growth and development. Formula feeding lacks the immune-boosting properties of breast milk and may increase the risk of allergies and obesity. Bottle feeding with breast milk is a viable alternative to breastfeeding, but direct breastfeeding offers additional benefits like skin-to-skin contact and enhanced milk production. Parenteral nutrition is not suitable for term infants as it involves delivering nutrients intravenously and is typically reserved for premature infants or those with specific medical conditions.
