NO. 6-WEANING AND TEETHING.
My baby is a year old. Dare I
wean him in summer?
Yes, unless he is in very delicate
condition and your physician advises
against it. AS rule mothers milk Is
not sufficiently nourishing for baby
IL months old or more. Wean him
gradually, not suddenly. At first, sub
stitute one bottle feeding. about mid
day, for a breast feeding. Give whole
milk, ounces or 16 tablespoons;
barley water, 2 ounces or table
spoons. II possible, persuade the baby
to- drink this from spoon or cup. 1t
is time he learned TO drink. If he re-
fuses, then resort to the bottle. AT the
end of three or four days, If he seems
well, give two bottle or cup feelings
instead OF one. At the end of month
or six weeks he will be weaned. 1t is
a mistake to withdraw the breast
abruptly and give nothing but modi-
fed milk. This should be done only
in case of emergency, dangerous Ill
ness of the mother, etc
2-My milk does not seem to satisfy
my six months baby. He wants to
nurse constantly and cries a great
deal Should he be weaned?
Not abruptly and not without con-
sulting your doctor as to your own
condition. Your baby is hungry or
spoiled. If you are anaemic or poorly
nourished. your milk does not satisfy
his hunger, and your strength should
be built up. If your milk is rich, he
has been spoiled by irregular feeding
and knows that by crying he will be
fed at any time. Have the breast milk
analysed. II the baby needs more
nourishment, build up your own health,
and gradually feed him modified milk
from a bottle. spoon or cup. prefer
ably the latter.
3.-Does weaving increase the dan
ger of teething?
Not when the baby is teething nor
mally and his digestion is generally
good. Teething is normal process.
Illness during teething comes generally
from digestive disorders, not from the
pain of detention. Wean the baby
gradually. using judgment in selecting
the formula, feed regularly, watch the
DOMCAo Cluiiy anu IL llAC DdDy cc6iub
normal, there is no danger.
4-When should a baby be weaned?
Progressive physicians and baby
specialists no longer set a definite
month for weaving. In fact, when
baby is healthy, the process is auto
matte, starting within a few months
after birth. A bottle feeding is given
once a day. In place of the usual breast
feeding. at three months or even earl
Ter. This is increased to two feed
ings a day at six months. Soon after
this, the baby is trained to drink modi-
fed milk from a spoon or cup and at
IL months It is ready to give up the
breast entirely. This plan Is approved
because IL prepares the baby for any
emergency such as maternal illness.
death or separation, and Il gives the
mother more liberty. Most important,
II accustoms the baby's stomach grad
ually. almost imperceptibly to cows
milk. Sudden changes in diet are
always dangerous.
5-When should the bottle-fed baby
be weaned?
IL he is IN good condition, that is
up TO the proper standard OF weight |

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ID Will you
please tell me how to make turtle
soup? Which turtles are used. soft

ca Please give me your recipe for
nut bread.
MRS. NJ.
"a Usually soft-shell turtles are
used, as the meat is easier to get out.
but a hard-shelled turtle can be used
just as well.
After the head is cut off plunge the
body into boiling water to loosen the
she'll. The bottom shell comes off
comparatively easy. Dig out the meat
ar discard entrails, just as if you
were cleaning a chicken. Use only
the good, clean meaty parts and cut
these into small pieces not larger than
dice. To two pounds of turtle meat
u. four carrots, three onions, little
thyme and parsley, pepper and salt to
taste and four quarts cold water. Slice
the onions and two of the carrots and
fry brown in drippings. Tie the thyme,
AMI parsley in little cloth bag, to be
dropped into the soup. Put turtle,
fried vegetables and bag of thyme and
parsley into the cold water, CRATE the
other two carrots into water and boi.

season, boil IL minutes longer and
serve hot.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls of 10 and IA years of age.

our ages for us to chum, together?

(2) Sandwiches, of course-make
some of white, some of brown and
some of white wheat bread, with diff
ferent cold meats and vegetable mix
lures. Sandwiches of chopped raisins
and nuts mixed with mayonnaise are
nice, or chopped olives and celery be-
tween lettuce leaves, or chopped egg
and cucumber between lettuce leaves.
