2013)
4) Abandoned infants or orphaned infants who have no opportunity to
receive breast-milk feeding.
5) The infant is able to sit with support using the child seat and maintain the head in midline (Karasik et al., 2015), and stand with support by extending their knee joints and weight-bearing on both feet (Piper and Darrah, 1994).
