Answer to Question 1

Iron deficiency and food allergies are the two most significant nutrition-related problems of infants. Possible solutions to lessen the risk of iron deficiency include supplementing breastfed infants with iron-fortified cereal at 6 months or using iron-fortified formulas for the bottle-fed infant. Possible solutions to lessen the risk of food allergies include introducing new foods one at a time, with at least 2 days elapsing before another new food is introduced. For infants with a strong family history of food allergies, solid foods should not be given before 6 months of age, with potential food allergens not introduced until 1 year.
