Expert Solution
Step 1

In humans, the period of gestation or pregnancy is 280 days. During this period, the fetus develops inside the mother’s womb and receives protection and nutrition from her. Nursing babies are the babies that have been delivered out of the mother’s womb and are now enabled for external nutrition via breastfeeding.
