    1. Infants can begin eating solid foods at around 4 months old, starting with cereal, fruit, vegetables, grains, yogurt and cheese. Mothers should introduce solid foods slowly and watch infants closely. 2. When starting solid foods, mothers should advise infants to eat slowly and give small, frequent meals. Mothers should provide a list of age-appropriate solid foods each month. 3. While mixing medication with food or formula is sometimes necessary, it is generally not recommended as it can reduce the medication's effectiveness. Medication should be mixed with water instead to ensure the full dose is received and properly absorbed.

    Discussion Board Activity 4

    1.) At what age can an infant start be eating solid food? Give examples of solid food that can

    be fed at this age?

    The infant can begin eating solid meals by the 4th month. Place a teaspoon between the lips to assess
    the child's willingness to try new foods. When a baby is about six months old, they can begin eating solid
    meals. They are able to consume solid meals like cereal (cerelac), little bits of fruit and vegetables,
    grains, yogurt, cheese, and anything that can be mashed or blended, such potatoes. At this age, they
    must also continue consuming formula or breast milk.

    2.) What are the possible health teachings you can give to a mother who is starting to feed her infant
    with solid food?

    One of the health lessons I might give to a mother who is starting to feed her baby solid food is to advise
    her to help her child eat more slowly. To only give their children tiny meals and to watch them closely at
    all times. In order to help her choose the right foods to feed her baby, I would also provide her a list of
    potential solid foods that can be given to her child each month.

    3.) Is mixing medication with food or formula allowed? If yes, why? If not, please state your reason.

    It may be necessary to mix medicine with food or formula if a newborn refuses to drink it, but doing so
    could reduce the medication's effectiveness. It is best to only mix or consume medicine with water. For
    instance, if a baby couldn't finish a bottle of medicine-laced formula milk, they wouldn't receive the
    whole amount. Some drugs may not be properly absorbed into the body when consumed with milk or
    any dairy product.
