The Pediatrician Suggests That the Caregivers Begin to Introduce Iron-Fortified

The pediatrician suggests that the caregivers begin to introduce iron-fortified rice cereal as the first solid food to their baby. The mother later asks the nurse why the health care practitioner wants her to give the baby iron-fortified rice cereal instead of some other food. The nurse's best response to this question is that this particular cereal:

A) is the easiest to digest and least likely to cause allergies
B) does not have many calories and won't decrease the baby's milk intake
C) is an important bulk to help the baby have semisolid bowel movements
D) is inexpensive and high in vitamins and minerals
