A mother asks the nurse about feeding her infant. The nurse's best response that includes the recommendation made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) concerning feeding infants is:
1. Breastfeed exclusively for the first year of life.
2. Introduce solid foods beginning at 4 months of age.
3. Begin exclusive breastfeeding with no water, juice, or other foods.
4. Introduce table foods only after tooth eruption.
3
Rationale:
1. The AAP does not recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first year of life. These infants would be at risk for experiencing nutritional deficiencies.
2. A variety of solid foods should not be introduced at 4 months of age, since the infant cannot digest many foods.
3. Breast milk is the preferred method of feeding infants in the first six months of life.
4. Solid infant foods can be introduced at 6 months of age regardless of the status of tooth eruption, since the foods are all pureed.
