Question

which of the following statements about breastfeeding is especially important to women in developing countries? breastmilk cannot be contaminated. there are very few risks associated with bottle - feeding. bottle - feeding is associated with less malnutrition. it doesnt matter whether you breastfeed or bottle - feed.

Explanation:

In developing countries, access to clean water for bottle - feeding (to clean bottles and mix formula) may be limited. Breastmilk is a natural, sterile source of nutrition for the baby. Bottle - feeding risks include contamination (if water is not clean) which can lead to infections and malnutrition (if formula is not mixed properly or if there is not enough formula due to cost). Breastmilk is always available (assuming the mother is healthy enough to breastfeed) and is sterile.

Answer:

Breastmilk cannot be contaminated.
