toward the fire.
3. Carefully protect the child from draughts
of air during bathing.

Ii more important than pure air. If the
child frets, feel Of his feet to see that they
are warm.

attractive things placed In such a position
near the cradle that 1t will require an effort
for him to look at them. They should be
placed so that the eye can reach them easily
and naturally.
