Which is a priority in counseling parents of a 6-month-old infant?
a. Increased appetite from secondary growth spurt
b. Allowing the infant to self-feed
c. Securing a developmentally safe environment for the infant
d. Strategies to teach infants to sit up
C
Safety is a primary concern as an infant becomes increasingly mobile. The infant's appetite and growth velocity decrease in the second half of infancy. Fine motor development, which is refined in the second half of infancy, is necessary before the infant can self-feed. Unless the infant has a neuromuscular deficit, strategies for teaching a normally developing infant to sit up are not necessary.
