- Li Na and Jamal are getting a lot of strange advice from parents and friends. Which of the following advice is recommended? Feeding 100% fruit juice by the bottle is OK after 6 months, to provide a source of vitamin C, as long as it's not left with the baby overnight. They should feed only breast milk or iron-fortified formula to 6 months; there is no need for any solids before 6 months. They should introduce small amounts of allergenic solids (peanut, tree nuts, fish/shellfish, egg, milk, soy, wheat) before 4 months, to stimulate antibody production to potential allergens. Even if breastfeeding, give the baby a bottle of formula in the evening to help him sleep through the night and provide additional protein, vitamin D and iron. They should add some infant cereal to the bottle (of either pumped milk or formula) to help satiate the baby so he sleeps through the night.arrow_forwardA friend/classmate of your delivers a healthy baby and was found to have PKU.
