Rationale:
1. The infant's maternal iron stores are depleted by 6 months. Infants who are not breastfed should get iron-fortified formula.
2. Starting iron-fortified infant cereal at 4–6 months of age is recommended for prevention of iron deficiency in children.
3. Cow's milk should not be introduced until 12 months of age.
4. Vitamin C should be started at 6–9 months of age and continued, because foods rich in vitamin C improve iron absorption.
