a) In the first month of pregnancy, tests that may be undertaken at the clinic include blood tests to check for blood type, Rh factor, and any infections, as well as a urine test to check for any health issues such as gestational diabetes or kidney problems. An ultrasound may also be performed to confirm the pregnancy and check for the baby's heartbeat.

b) Supplementary foods for a baby can include things like baby cereal, pureed fruits and vegetables, and small amounts of protein like diced meat or tofu. It is important to introduce these foods slowly and one at a time to monitor for any potential allergies or reactions.

c) The benefits of supplementary food for a baby include providing additional nutrients that may not be obtained from breast milk or formula alone, helping to support the baby's growth and development, and introducing new flavors and textures to expand their palate.

d) There are several reasons why a mother may be unable to breastfeed, including medical conditions such as mastitis or low milk supply, medications that are contraindicated for breastfeeding, or personal reasons such as the inability to pump milk at work or feeling uncomfortable breastfeeding in public.

e) When caring for play items for a baby, it is important to regularly clean and sanitize them to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners that may be harmful to the baby, and make sure to regularly inspect the toys for any signs of wear or damage that could pose a choking hazard. Store the toys in a safe and designated area to prevent accidents or injuries.
