Explanation & Rationale
Rationale:A) It is recommended to use fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables rather than canned due to concerns about added sugars and sodium.B) Introducing one new food every 5 to 7 days helps identify potential allergies or intolerances and allows the infant's digestive system to adjust to new foods.C) The amount of solid food introduced initially is typically smaller, usually starting with a teaspoon or so, gradually increasing as the infant gets accustomed to eating solids.D) Adding rice cereal to a bottle is not recommended as it can increase the risk of choking and does not promote self-feeding skills.
