Explanation:
1. Age 4 to 6 months is the optimal age to begin supplemental feedings. The infant does not need supplemental foods earlier, and introducing supplemental foods earlier does not promote sleep.
2. Fruit juice and rice cereal are not well tolerated by infants at 2 months of age as they lack the digestive enzymes to take in and metabolize many food products.
3. Fruit juice and rice cereal are not well tolerated by infants at 2 months of age as they lack the digestive enzymes to take in and metabolize many food products. Introducing cereal at this stage will not help promote sleep.
4. Earlier feeding of nonformula foods, regardless of the infant's weight, is more likely to cause the development of food allergies.
