Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
At age 1 year, whole milk becomes a major source of nutrients, including fat.

Answer to Question 2

C
Cow's milk is not suitable for infants less than one year old because it contains high levels of sodium and protein and the high renal solute load may cause dehydration. Fruit juice may be in-troduced after age 6 months. Crackers and egg yolk may be introduced after age 9 months.
