+ Breastfeeding: Biology :: Milk
+ Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Description
  * Because they are marsupials, the female carries its young in special pouch. Babies are born about five weeks after mating. The tiny baby which is only about 15 millimetres long, and weighs less than one gram, crawls up into the pouch. Inside the pouch there are four nipples. The baby kangaroo, called a joey, will only use one of the nipples. It lives in the pouch for about eight months. It still drinks milk from its mother until about 18 months of age.
+ HIV, How people get infected: Sexually transmitted diseases :: Viruses :: HIV/AIDS
  * Babies can get the virus from their mothers when they are born or when they are breastfeeding. A baby may be protected from getting HIV this way if their mother takes certain medications while she is pregnant.
+ Homemaker, History, Traditional societies: Occupations :: Social sciences :: Family
  * In societies where people are 'hunters and gatherers', for example the traditional society of the Australian aboriginal people, it is the men who do the hunting of animals for meat, and the women who do the gathering of other types of food such as grain, fruit and vegetables. One of the reasons is that a married woman usually had children and babies for a large part of her life. It is much easier to gather fruit with a baby on your hip or back than to hunt a fast-moving animal. So the men were able to raise up sons and daughters and the life of the community could continue into another generation. Even in a society where homes were very simple and people did not own very many things, men and women did different jobs. Babies live very close to their mothers so that they can be kept warm.
+ Milk, Lactose: Symbols of Oklahoma
  * Milk contains a chemical called lactose. Babies make an enzyme called lactase inside their bodies. Adults make less lactase. If they do not have enough, they may not be able to digest lactose anymore. This problem is called lactose intolerance and it affects many adults. There are many medicines that help adults digest lactose. Many lactose-intolerant people drink soy milk instead of animal milk, because it does not contain lactose.

+ Scurvy, Treatment of scurvy: Diseases
  * When a person gets help for scurvy, they usually get better very quickly. Babies start eating again after one or two days of help. The symptoms get better within seven days.
+ Secondary sex characteristic: Sexuality
  * However, the wider hips are needed to give birth. Babies are born through the space between the three bones of a woman's pelvis. So is doubtful to call this a 'secondary' characteristic, except so far as the width helps attract mates. Breasts are also essential, but in humans they are much larger in proportion to other mammals, and they do serve to attract males.
+ Sudden infant death syndrome: Syndromes :: Death
  * Babies are at the highest risk for SIDS during their sleep. Infants also die more often during winter months.
+ Tooth, Tooth eruption: Teeth
  * Children have 20 teeth. When these teeth erupt it can hurt. Babies chew on things to make the pain better. Most children have all 20 teeth by 2 or 3 years of age. At age 6-7 the 'permanent' teeth start to erupt. By the age of 11-12 most children have 28 adult teeth. The last 4 teeth, called 'wisdom teeth' or 'third molars' come in by age 17-21 in most people. Some people never grow wisdom teeth.
