The nurse is providing anticipatory guidance to a mother of a 5-month-old boy about introducing solid foods. Which statement by the mother indicates that effective teaching has occurred?
A) "I'll start with baby oatmeal cereal mixed with low-fat milk.".
B) "The cereal should be a fairly thin consistency at first.".
C) "I can puree the meat that we are eating to give to my baby.".
D) "Once he gets used to the cereal, then we'll try giving him a cup.".
B
Feedback:
Iron-fortified rice cereal mixed with a small amount of formula or breast milk to a fairly thin consistency is typically the first solid food used. As the infant gets older, a thicker consistency is appropriate. Strained, pureed, or mashed meats may be introduced at 10 to 12 months of age. A cup is typically introduced at 6 to 8 months of age regardless of what or how much solid food is being consumed.
