FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE FOR
THE BABY.
(Continnadl

This is crucial time in babys
career. He is SO cunning, so enticing,
that parents and relatives are very apt
to urge him on faster than Nature de-
crees. AS soon as he begins to creep,
adult hands offer to help him stand
erect. He is overpersuaded to take
the funny, tottering steps before the
bones and muscles are strong enough
to support his growing body. This
may result in bow-legs, knock-knees,
fiat feet, pigeon-toeing, all sorts of de-
fects in gait that are sad crosses to
bear in later years.
Encourage, but do not urge your
baby to activity during these months
of rapid development. Let Nature d.
rect his progress. She knows the con-
dition of his bones and muscles bet
ter than you DO. When he discovers
that his feet were made to walk on,
he will drag himself to an upright posi-
ton by chair or stool. If he is walk
ing rapidly enough and taking suffici.
ent exercise. If very heavy, and he
does not walk until fourteen months,
do not worry. Nature is watching and
guarding him. But if he is not walk
ing in eighteen months, his condition
should be examined by physician. He
may find backward mental symptoms.
One thing which often retards a
baby's walking is heavy, bunglesome
diapers. At one year, a baby's habits
should be such diapers can be laid
aside for drawers and hompers which
facilitate walking.
Another factor of daily life which in.
terfere with baby's development Is the
pressure of duties on the average
mother. Sc has so many other things
