Which statements reflect appropriate health promotion strategies for infants? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: Rear-facing car seats are recommended until at least age 2 or until the child exceeds the height and weight limits of the seat. This position offers optimal protection for the infant’s head, neck, and spine in the event of a collision. Choice B reason: Introducing solids at 4 months is outdated. Current guidelines recommend starting solids around 6 months when the infant shows signs of readiness, such as good head control and interest in food. Choice C reason: Providing picture books with simple text supports early language development, visual stimulation, and bonding. It encourages cognitive growth and literacy skills even in infancy. Choice D reason: Pediatric visits should follow a comprehensive schedule including newborn, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. Limiting visits to only 3, 6, and 9 months may miss critical developmental assessments and immunizations. Choice E reason: Infants should never be left unattended during bathing due to the high risk of drowning, even in shallow water. Constant supervision is essential for safety.
