Question

The mother of an 11-month-old infant reports that the baby has allergies. After an assessment, the primary healthcare provider also suspects anemia. Which questions would the primary healthcare provider most likely ask the mother

Answer 1

Answer:

did you use 2% cow milk, whole cow's milk, or other alternate milk types?

Explanation:

Newly-born infants should not use other types of milk other than breastfeeding milk since the other milk products will not have the essential fats, immunoglobulins, protein, and carbohydrates that the breastfeeding milk will have. Instead, the other milk products might have: lactose, casein, vegetable oils, and other minerals and fats that are not good for newborn infants. And there are some minerals and fats that will cause: immature kidneys, cause severe sickness, diarrhea, fever, anemia, heat stress, and other scenarios that are not good for the infant.
