A young mother asks if her 9-month-old can begin drinking cow's milk instead of formula. You explain that:
- A. Cow's milk is easier to digest than formula
- B. Breast milk or formula should be used for now because whole cow's milk is not recommended for infants under 1 year
- C. As long as whole milk is given and not skim milk, it is okay
- D. Cow's milk will decrease the chance of iron deficiency anemia
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Breast milk or formula should be used for now because whole cow's milk is not recommended for infants under 1 year. Cow's milk is not suitable for infants under 1 year of age as it lacks essential nutrients like iron and can lead to iron deficiency. Therefore, it is important to continue with breast milk or formula to ensure the baby's nutritional needs are met. Choice A is incorrect as cow's milk is not easier to digest than formula for infants. Choice C is incorrect as the type of milk, whether whole or skim, is not the primary concern at this age. Choice D is incorrect as cow's milk can actually increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia in infants.
