The mother of a 4-month-old infant asks the nurse about the right time to start solid food for the baby. Which of the following should the nurse tell the mother?
A) When the baby starts drinking 50 ounces of milk
B) When the baby gets its first tooth
C) When the baby starts sitting without any support
D) When extrusion reflex appears in the baby
C
Feedback:
The ability of the baby to sit unsupported can be taken as readiness to start solid food. The doubling of birth weight, disappearance of the extrusion reflex, and ingestion of 32 ounces of milk daily without hunger satisfaction are the other signs of readiness for the introduction of solid food. Drinking 50 ounces of milk, appearance of extrusion reflex, and the eruption of teeth are not the signs of readiness for introduction of solid food.
