Question

The nurse is instructing a parent of a newborn on the foods that are to be started based on age. The nurse instructs the parent that the first food to be give to a newborn is rice cereal. What statement by the parent suggests appropriate understanding of the next food that can be introduced?

Answer 1

"Fruits should be given next."

Step-by-step explanation:

At 6 months, a big change happens in the lives of babies: in addition to breast milk, he begins to enjoy baby food, soups and fruits. This is a very delicate time, as babies are not used to solid foods and can become stressed and reject foods. For this reason, parents should seek professional advice on what foods to present to their baby and in what order. Generally, nurses and doctors indicate that fruits should be the second food to be presented to babies, after a carbohydrate source such as rice cereal.
