This is a period when readiness to receive nutrition education is usually high; therefore the nurse looks for opportunities to provide accurate information. Assessment of parental knowledge; infant development, behavior, and readiness; parent-child interaction; and cultural and ethnic practices is important. Sex of the infant does not enter into nutritional education.
