Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: An infant’s iron stores are usually adequate until about 4 to 6 months of age. The infant should be receiving sufficient amounts of calcium from breast milk, and fluoride supplementation, if needed, does not begin until the child is approximately 6 months old. This infant will have limited exposure to sunlight and thus vitamin D because of the infant’s dark skin and decreased sun exposure in the fall and winter months.
