Question 1

List some guidelines for infant nutrition set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2011.

Accepted Answer

Answers will vary. Some guidelines for infant nutrition (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2011) are:
Build up to a variety of foods. Introduce new foods one at a time. The infant may be allergic to a new food, and introducing foods one at a time helps isolate their possible effects.
Pay attention to the infant's appetite to help avoid overfeeding or underfeeding.
Do not restrict fat and cholesterol too much. Infants need calories and some fat.
Do not overdo high-fiber foods.
Generally avoid items with added sugar and salt.
Encourage eating of high-iron foods; infants need more iron, pound for pound, than adults do.
