Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Breast milk should be the only food for the first 6 months, and should continue until 12 months even after solid foods are introduced.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Offering drinking cups only at meal and snack times encourages drinking when thirsty rather than carrying a cup around. This reduces the risk of dental caries. Delaying the introduction of cow's milk, making homemade baby food, or diluting juice does not decrease dental caries.
