The nurse and the mother of an infant are discussing the introduction of solid foods into her child's diet.
Which of the following statements made by the mother reflects the best understanding of the most appropriate manner to introduce new foods?
1. Both my husband and I have allergies, so I am very cautious about introducing anything new into her diet.
2. I'm a fussy eater, and so are my other children; but I will offer her a variety of foods so she will have a good appetite.
3. I'll start with nonwheat cereal and then vegetables; one new food a week so I can see if something doesn't agree with her.
4. My other children just loved solids and really were a joy to feed; I expect she will be as receptive to new foods as they were.
Question 2
Which of the following statements reflects the best understanding of the benefits of breast-feeding related to the infant's health and wellness?
1. My husband and I both have food allergies, but she won't be allergic to my breast milk.
2. The antibodies she gets will help keep her immunized from many illnesses for up to her first birthday.
3. I can spend so much more time with her because I have to devote my attention to her while I nurse.
4. It's so convenient, no formula preparation, no bottles to wash and fill, no pack-ing for outings; its great.
