Answer to Question 1

A
Babies at this age have developed stranger anxiety. Parents need to be reassured that this is appropriate behavior for an infant this age. Parents are often accused of spoiling their children when they don't want to be helped by anyone else, but this is not the case.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. A 1-month-old child should not be fed cereal because babies have insufficient amounts of the pancreatic enzyme amylase, the enzyme that initially digests carbohydrates until 4 to 6 months of age.
B Incorrect: Introduction of solid foods before 4 to 6 months of age can contribute to food allergies; increased calorie intake, resulting in an overweight infant; and the danger of choking.
C Incorrect. Infants are not allergic to all food substances except milk until they are 6 months of age and develop sufficient antibodies. They may be allergic to some solid foods; therefore, introduction of solid foods before 4 to 6 months of age can contribute to food allergies.
D Incorrect. Introduction of solid foods before 4 to 6 months of age can contribute to increased calorie intake, resulting in an overweight infant.
