baby's failure properly to digest the
new foods given to him at this period.

period between nine and twelve
months, after he is a year old he may
have a small saucer of well-cooked,
strained cereal twice a day, and will
require about one quart of milk during
"a hours.

little rare beef, or ~wellcooked chicken
or mutton. Meat for a baby should
be boiled, roasted or broiled, never
fried. and shout be given to the baby
scraped or finely minced.
