Answer 1

Answer: b. for the first month of life

Step-by-step explanation:

The neonatal period is the time that extends from the uterine life of the developing fetus to the time the child finally gets the birth and finally completes one month in the external environment (outside the mothers womb). The period after one month is perinatal period. In the neonatal period the child is at high risk of dying. The mothers breast fed milk is necessary for boosting the immunity of the neonatal child.
