The pediatrician suggests that the caregivers begin to introduce iron-fortified rice cereal as the first solid food to their baby

b. does not have many calories and won't decrease the baby's milk intake
c. is an important bulk to help the baby have semisolid bowel movements
d. is inexpensive and high in vitamins and minerals
