A mother asks the nurse about feeding her infant. The nurse's best response that includes the recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) concerning feeding infants is
1. breast-feed exclusively for the firstyear of life.
2. introduce solid foods beginning at4 months of age.
3. begin exclusive breast-feeding withno water,juice,or other foods.
4. introduce table foods only after theinfant tooth eruption.
Answer:3
Rationale:Breast milk is the preferred method of feeding infants in the first six months of life. The AAP does not recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first year of life. These infants would be at risk for experiencing nutritional deficiencies. A variety of solid foods should not be introduced at 4 months of age since the infant cannot digest so many foods.Solid infant foods can be introduced at 6 months of age regardless of the status of tooth eruption since the foods are all pureed.
