A nurse is teaching a parent about introducing solid foods to their 4-month-old infant. What is an appropriate guideline for introducing solids?**


Correct Answer: A

A. Starting with pureed fruits and vegetables is appropriate for most infants when introducing solid foods, typically around 4-6 months of age.

B. Cow's milk is not recommended as a primary drink for infants under 1 year old due to its low iron content.

C. Meat can be introduced as a source of iron-rich food, but it is not typically the first solid food introduced.

D. Waiting until 12 months to introduce any solid foods is not in line with current recommendations. Introducing solids around 4-6 months while continuing breast milk or formula is appropriate.
