Explanation: 1. The infant's maternal iron stores are depleted by 6 months. Infants who are not breastfed should get iron-fortified formula. Green leafy vegetables, while iron fortified, are not appropriate for the infant. 2. Vitamin C should be started at 6 to 9 months of age and continued because foods rich in vitamin C improve iron absorption. 3. Starting iron-fortified infant cereal at 4 to 6 months of age is recommended for prevention of iron deficiency in children. 4. Cow's milk should not be introduced until 12 months of age. |
