Answers :

1.Option C - Nutmilk with added flax seed oil.

• NUTMILK:Nutmilk has extremely low calorie content.1cup contains 25-50 % of days calcium and 25% daily vit D requirement.It contains good fat amount and nutrients.
• FLAX SEED OIL : Flax seed oil helps in baby brain developement since it is a rich source of alpha linoleic acid(ALA) which is an omega 3 fatty acid.

Fortified soymilk, fortified rice milk and commercial soy formulas are not suitable because :

• These are skimmed or reduced fat milk and lack important nutrients for the growth of babies.

As infants need adequate fat and nutrients these soymilk rice milk and commercial soy formula are not preferred.

• Vitamin D3 is synthesised in human skin from 7 dehrocholesterol upon exposure to ultraviolet - B radiation from sunlight.It can also be obtained from dietary sources or supplements.

FOLATE is a B vitamin naturally present in many foods and it is needed to make DNA and other genetic material.

VITAMIN K is a fat soluble vitamin stored in liver needed for blood coagulation.Green leafy vegetables rich source of vitamin k.Bacteria in the intestine synthesize vitamin k.

3.Option C - Multiple daily injections of basal and prandial insulin or continous subcutaneous insulin infusion.
