The nurse is teaching a group of breastfeeding mothers about introducing solid foods. Solid foods are correctly introduced at which sequence:
  1. Cereals, fruits, vegetables, egg yolks, meat
  2. Cereals, vegetables, fruits, egg yolks, meat
  3. Cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat, egg yolks
  4. Vegetables, fruits, cereals, meat, egg yolks
Explanation
Answer: C - The right sequence when introducing solid foods is cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat, and egg yolks. Cereals are introduced first. They can be mixed with enough fluid to make the mixture fairly liquid. Vegetables are given before fruits, as they contain more iron. Meat is offered around 9 months and egg yolks are given around 10 months. Individual pediatricians may give varying guidance.
