DON'T WAKE THE BABY.
The Habit OF Sleep Should be Encouraged
in Infants.


It is one of the regular customs of
many households to take the new baby
from crib or bed and exhibited it to
the admiring visitor. This is a bad
practice all persons who have reached
years of discretion ought certainly to
know, but this fact seems to have very
little weight in the minds either of the
caller or of the proud and happy
parents, who seem never to weary of
putting the new arrival on dress parade
and sounding its praises That many
baby has been exhibited to death IS
fact well known TO doctors and expert
eneed nurses, but it is usually their
policy to keep silent, as any restriction
of this sort is apt to be resented by
fond parents.
No child should ever be reused from
sleep to be shown to anybody unless
it be the doctor, and the case is desper-
ate. To do SO is to lay the foundation
for restlessness, bad temper and many
of the ills that infancy is heir to. 1t is
wise to encourage child to sleep all it
will, no matter how much that may be.
In strictly healthy condition the lit
tie one sleeps almost all the time,
rousing itself enough to be fed. when, il
there is no reason for being disturbed,
it will usually drop off to sleep again.
This habit may be encouraged, and the
child may sleep longer if care is taken TO
change its position without awakening
it. This may be done by very eau
tiously drawing the blanket on which
it sleeps slightly toward one side of the
crib, then raising gently with one hand
while the other is placed on the baby's
chest; in this way it may be turned
upon the other side without rousing it.
After while it will get accustomed to
being turned, when it will usually in
dulge in one very long drawn breath
and settle down as contentedly as pos
sibly to finish it's nap. Children of all
ages should sleep until they waken OF
their own accord Neither breakfast
nor anything else is as important to
them as to sleep and grow. If one has
any curiosity to study the practical
working of this. let him try few times
