Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infant formula is the beverage that is transitioned to if an infant is weaned from breast milk within the first year of its life.

B) Bifidus factor is a probiotic found in breast milk and some formulas.

C) Lactoferrin is a protein found in breast milk and some formulas.

E) Cow's milk is not recommended as the sole beverage for infants under 1 year old due to its high protein and mineral content that can put a strain on their developing kidneys.

F) 4 to 6 months is the age when infants can begin to be introduced to solid foods alongside breast milk or formula, not a transition from breast milk to formula.
