a. The breast milk will gradually become richer to supply additional calories.
b. As the infant requires more milk, feedings can be supplemented with cow's milk.
c. Early addition of baby food will meet the infant's needs.

D
Feedback
A Mature breast milk will stay the same. The amounts will increase as the infant
feeds for longer times.
B Supplementation will decrease the amount of stimulation of the breast and
decrease the milk production.
C Solids should not be added until about 4 to 6 months, when the infant's immune
system is more mature. This will decrease the chance of allergy formations.
D The amount of milk produced depends on the amount of stimulation of the
breast. Increased demand with more frequent and longer breastfeeding sessions
results in more milk available for the infant.
