A 10-month-old child is breastfed and receives family foods. Which feeding practice is most appropriate?
Correct answer: B. Offer soft mashed foods with increasing texture and variety
- A. Offer only diluted fruit juice between breastfeeds
- B. Offer soft mashed foods with increasing texture and variety
- C. Offer unmodified cow's milk as the main drink
- D. Offer tea with meals to improve appetite
Explanation
By 10 months, the child should receive varied, energy-dense family foods with gradually increasing texture, while breastfeeding continues. Tea can reduce iron absorption, and diluted juice or cow's milk should not replace suitable complementary foods.

About Childhood Nutrition and Malnutrition
Childhood nutrition covers essential nutrients, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, dietary assessment, growth monitoring and age-appropriate feeding practices. Questions distinguish protein-energy malnutrition, including marasmus and kwashiorkor, from micronutrient deficiencies such as iron, vitamin A, vitamin D and iodine deficiency, using clinical signs and anthropometric findings.
