1 The parents of a 5-month-old infant state that their infant seems to eat very little. Most of the

food comes out of the infant's mouth and onto his clothes. Which of the following explanations

should the nurse give to the parents?

Trying to introduce food after the intake of a bottle formula is usually not recommended because

the infant is satiated and has no inclination to try something new. Solid foods should be offered

at 4 to 6 months. The gastrointestinal tract has matured enough to handle more nutrients and is

less sensitive to potentially allergenic foods. This deprives the infant of the pleasure of learning

new tastes and developing a discriminating palate. It may cause problems with poor chewing

because of lack of experience. Due to the extrusion (protrusion) reflex, the infant’s tongue pushes

the food out of the mouth. It is most helpful to suggest using a long-handled spoon and placing

the food in the back of the infant's mouth to avoid the reflex.

"Give the baby a bottle of formula before solid food to assure adequate caloric intake."

"Stop the solid foods and try again when the baby is 12 months old."

"Put the cereal in a bottle and feed the baby through a nipple with a large hole."

"Place the food in the back of the baby's mouth using a long-handled spoon."
