a. Skim milk. c. Commercial iron-fortified formula.
b. Whole cow's milk. d. Commercial formula without iron.
ANS: C
For children younger than 1 year, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the use of breast milk. If breastfeeding has been discontinued, iron-fortified commercial formula should be used. Cow's milk should not be used in children younger than 12 months. Maternal iron stores are almost depleted by this age; the iron-fortified formula will help prevent the development of iron deficiency anemia.
