3,000,000 babies under one year of age died in the U.S. in 1914. 1,960 died in 1915. Feeding of Baby The best for the baby is mother’s milk. If babies cannot be nursed, cow’s milk is the next best. Mechanical foods are not so good because they are sweet and have not what mother’s milk has. The baby is about 9 months old when mother weans it. Then she can give it bread or crackers in milk, prune or orange juice. The cow’s milk that we get must be sterilized. We can get certified milk in the Dispensary. We should feed the baby more than three times every day. When one week old, 1 oz.; 1 mo., 3 oz.; 3 mo., 4-1/2 oz.; 6 mo., 6 oz; 9 mo. 8 to 9 oz. Excellent. |
