A Although milk is a good source of calcium and protein for children after the first
year of life, it is not the best source of nutrients for children younger than 1 year
old.
B It is best to wait until the infant is at least 1 year old before giving him cow's
milk because of the risk of allergies and intestinal problems. Cow's milk protein
intolerance is the most common food allergy during infancy.
C Bedtime bottles of formula or milk are contraindicated because of their high
sugar content, which leads to dental decay in primary teeth.
D Cereal can be mixed with formula.
