8. A 7-month-old infant is brought to the office for a well-child visit. The mother has been breastfeeding and says that everything is going well. He is on a regular feeding schedule and he is not eating any solid foods or receiving any supplements. He is up-to-date on all of his immunizations. The mother is proud of his development; he is able to sit alone without support, can smile at himself in the mirror, has a palmar grasp, and can make sounds with multiple syllables. His physical examination is unremarkable. At this time you should
a) Advise the mother to begin giving him vitamin C supplements to prevent scurvy
b) Advise the mother to start giving him iron supplements or iron-containing foods to prevent iron-deficiency anemia
c) Explain to the mother that exclusive breastfeeding is ideal nutrition and sufficient to support optimal growth and development until 12 months
d) Explain to the mother that it may be best to discontinue breastfeeding and give him a commercially prepared formula that contains all of the vitamins and minerals that he needs at this time
e) Schedule a follow-up visit for his 12-month visit when he will receive his first varicella and measles mumps rubella vaccinations
