Wash them all over with soap and warm water every day. Clothe them warmly, but let clothing be loose. Never let the arms or legs be bare. See that your rooms have plenty of fresh air let into them. Take children out every day when the weather is fine, but never take young children out at night, nor on cold or wet days.
Children require plenty of sleep.
They should sleep in a cot, and not in their mother's arms. Give nothing but milk to infants less than 8 months old. If there is not enough breast milk, cow's milk and water can be given at the same time. No bread, corn flour, or other food of the same kind must be given under 8 months old. Use the old-fashioned feeding bottle, without any tube.
