Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Most infants exhibit readiness to spoon-feed around 4 to 6 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

B
Excess protein is a problem because the immature infant kidney may be unable to handle the high renal solute load. Low protein intake, but not high protein intake, may cause edema. Excess protein intake does not necessarily result in excessive calorie intake if it takes the place of car-bohydrate and fat. The infant's gastrointestinal tract seems to be able to absorb excess protein.
