While teaching the parents of a newborn about infant care and feeding, the nurse instructs the parents to
1. Delay supplemental foods until the infant is 4 to 6 months old.
2. Delay supplemental foods until the infant reaches 15 pounds or greater.
3. Begin diluted fruit juice at 2 months of age, but wait three to five days before trying a new food.
4. Add rice cereal to the nighttime feeding if the infant is having difficulty sleeping after 2 months of age.

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Four to six months is the optimal age to begin supplemental feedings because earlier feeding of nonformula foods is not needed by the infant and does not promote sleep. Earlier feeding of nonformula foods, regardless of the infant’s weight, is more likely to cause the development of food allergies. Also, early feeding is not well tolerated by infants because the necessary tongue control is not well developed and they lack the digestive enzymes to take in and metabolize many food products.
