Samantha is a healthy eight-month-old newborn who lives with her mother Kathy, her father, and her older sister, who is almost three years old. Both parents currently work full-time, so they take girls to day care around the clock. Kathy breastfed Samantha before returning to work and booked a contribution of frozen breast milk. Now he breastfeeds her twice a day, early in the morning and before Samantha falls asleep. In the nursery, the girl drinks breast milk with a bottle. The nursery team reports that the girl shows good behavior. However, when Kathy picks her up after work, Samantha wishes they would carry her and not sit in her high chair or the one she uses to eat. If they don't load it, it cries. Samantha's sister wants to be fed as soon as she gets home. Kathy has a lot to do at home after work, making it difficult for her to carry Samantha around at such a busy time. Kathy thinks Samantha is hungry and that she would be less irritable if she fed him dinner.
