A nurse is talking to the mother of an exclusively breastfed African-American 3-month-old infant who was born in late fall. The nurse would want to make sure that this child is receiving:
1. Iron.
2. Vitamin D.
3. Fluoride.
4. Calcium.
2
Rationale:
1. An infant's iron stores are usually adequate until about 4–6 months of age.
2. This infant will have limited exposure to sunlight, and thus vitamin D, because of the infant's dark skin and decreased sun exposure in the fall and winter months.
3. Fluoride supplementation, if needed, does not begin until the child is approximately 6 months old.
4. The infant should be receiving sufficient amounts of calcium from breast milk.
