Place the infant in a stationary position to prevent falls:<\/strong> Keeping the infant stationary does not support motor development. Encouraging movement is crucial for motor skill development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Encourage tummy time while the infant is awake and supervised:<\/strong> Tummy time is important for motor development as it helps strengthen the infant&#8217;s neck, shoulder, and back muscles. It also promotes the development of motor skills like rolling over and crawling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Limit opportunities for the infant to explore different textures:<\/strong> Exploring different textures is beneficial for sensory development, and limiting this can hinder overall development. Encouraging exploration supports sensory and motor skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Introduce solid foods to enhance oral motor skills:<\/strong> While introducing solid foods is important for oral motor skills, it is typically recommended around 6 months of age rather than 4 months. At 4 months, the primary focus should be on motor skills such as tummy time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>B.
