If the baby is given even half a
chance he is likely to keep in good
health. If mothers would give their
infants every possible chance, infant
mortality would be cut down to al
most nothing.
This is comparatively simple if
mother will only adopt certain pre-
Ventive methods.
There are many don'ts, but here
are some things a mother ought
to DO:
Do feed the baby regularly. This
is of prime importance to its health.
Do protect your baby from ignO-
rant midwives and nUrsemaids. Call
in a good doctor if you want to know
something about the baby quickly.

Do keep baby's thumb out of his
mouth. Don't let that habit start.
It may deform his mouth for life.
Do be sure that you get only fresh
milk for baby but not the richest
milk.
Do see that milk is delivered in bot
ties and is put on ice Immediately.
Warm milk readily spOils and spoiled
milk will make the baby sick.
Do see that new rubber nipples are
boiled before being used for the first
time. All nipples, after using, should
be carefully washed in soap and wa
ter and kept covered in a glass con-
tanning boric acid or baking soda and
water They should be thoroughly
rinsed before using.
Do see that baby's bottle is thor
oughIy rinsed when enptied-and then
kept filled with water. Before pre-
pairing the food for the day they
should be thoroughly washed with
hot suds and placed for ten minutes
in boiling water.
