To determine if Quinn is ready for solid foods, the relevant factors are:
- **Quinn no longer thrusts her tongue forward and pushes out food when it is introduced.** (This indicates that she has developed the oral skills needed to handle solid foods).
- **Quinn can sit up with back support.** (Sitting up is important for swallowing and eating safety).
- **Quinn can control her mouth, head, and neck.** (This control is necessary for safe eating and swallowing).
The option stating that "Quinn is at least 2 months old" is not a correct factor for determining readiness for solid foods, as readiness is more about physical development and less about age alone.
**So, the boxes to check are:**
1. Quinn no longer thrusts her tongue forward and pushes out food when it is introduced.
2. Quinn can sit up with back support.
3. Quinn can control her mouth, head, and neck.
