1. Breastfeeding is cheaper than buying formula.

Explanation

Breastfeeding is cheaper than buying formula because breast milk is readily available and does not require any additional cost. Formula, on the other hand, needs to be purchased regularly, which can be expensive over time. Breastfeeding also eliminates the need for bottles, sterilizing equipment, and other feeding accessories, further reducing costs. Additionally, breastfeeding can save on healthcare expenses as breast milk provides natural antibodies and nutrients that can help prevent illnesses in infants. Overall, breastfeeding is a cost-effective option for feeding infants.

2. What is one of the proper positions in breastfeeding?

Explanation

All of the positions mentioned (Football Hold, Cross Cradle, Side Lying, and Cradle) are proper positions in breastfeeding. Each position has its own advantages and may be preferred by different mothers or babies depending on their comfort and latch. The Football Hold is useful for mothers with large breasts or after a C-section. Cross Cradle provides good support for the baby's head and neck. Side Lying is beneficial for nighttime feedings or for mothers recovering from birth. Cradle is a commonly used position that allows for a close bond between mother and baby.

3. Breast-fed children are more likely to contract a disease.

Explanation

Breast-fed children are actually less likely to contract a disease. Breast milk contains antibodies and other immune-boosting substances that help protect infants from infections and diseases. It provides a natural defense against various illnesses and promotes a strong immune system. Numerous studies have shown that breast-fed babies have lower rates of respiratory infections, ear infections, gastrointestinal infections, and other common childhood illnesses compared to formula-fed babies. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

4. There are two breast holds, the "C" hold and the "U" hold.

Explanation

The statement is true because there are indeed two breast holds, the "C" hold and the "U" hold. These holds are commonly used in breastfeeding to support and position the baby's head and neck while latching onto the breast. The "C" hold involves forming a "C" shape with the hand and placing the thumb on top of the breast, while the "U" hold involves forming a "U" shape with the hand and placing the thumb underneath the breast. These holds can help ensure a comfortable and effective breastfeeding experience for both the mother and the baby.
