CARE OF THE BABY
Weight and Weighing the Baby.

, this is not necessarily true. An ex-
elusive diet of certain Of the prOprie-
tary infant foods, consisting largely
of sugar or Of starch, is very apt to
produce excessive fat, and give false
impression of Astounding health, since
bones and muscles may thus be de-
priVed of their proper nourishment
OVerfat babies are very uncomfortable
in the summer from prickly heat and
other ills.
A healthy baby has a well-rounded
body. without wads and cushions of
fat, or pendulous cheeks and pudgy
legs. He has springy muscles and is
alert, active and full Of life and mo-
ton
In order that the mother may be in
formed as to the baby's progress. he
should be weighed at regular intervals
throughout at least the first year. For
the first week or longer. he should be
weighed every day; during the first
six months once a week; and later
once in two weeks
Breast Fed Babies.
Breast fed babies may be weighed
lust before and just after a nursing to
determine how much milk they are
getting, and to find out whether or not
they need supplementary feeding. They
should be weighed in exactly the same
clothing both times. and to determine
the daily gain, at the same hour each

households have enough general use

Many city mothers have the advantage
OF being able to go to an infant well
rare station where the baby may be
weighed as often as desirable. In these
cases It is easy to keep a careful record
OF the baby's growth.
The children's bureau has published
bulletin called Infant Care, which
contains directions for weighing the
baby and also a chart for recording the
weight. This publication is sent free
to all who ask for it, addressing the
chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S.

THE baby's weight is perhaps the
best index the mother has of his
condition. The average weights
ty well established, and a weight no.
ticeably lower than the average indi-
Gates lack of development due either
to deficient diet, or to illness, while an
excess OF fat may point TO improper
feeding. If the baby's weight either
remains stationary for any consider
able time. or begins to fall off it is al
ways a sign that something is wrong:
and the mother should seek the help
OF good doctor, without delay.
The average girl weighs seven
pounds at birth. while boys average
half a pound heavier.
During the first four days the baby
may lose from one or two ounces to
a pound, while waiting for the moth
er's milk to be established, but as soon
as he begins to nurse regularly he
should quickly regain this loss During
the first month he should gain about
three quarters OF an ounce each day;
then up to the sixth month, from Tour
to eight ounces a week, and from the
sixth to the twelfth month two to four
ounces a week.
Bnby's Weight.
At three months the average baby
weighs from u to IA pounds; at six
months. Is to Is pounds; at nine
months. IL 10 is pounds; and at one
year, 20 to p pounds. The baby thus
usually doubles his weight at five. or
six months, and at the end OF MS Ilrst
year weighs three times as much as
at birth Most babies do not gain
quite steadily. week by week. Dur
ing short periods, owing TO excessive
heat when the food is reduced baby
may show no gain, and may even even fall
off a little. This condition shouid ne
tenporarv and he ought to begin to
gain as soon as the disturbance sub
sides
Bottle-fed infants do not gain as
ranidIv during the first months as do
breast-fed babies. but after the ninth
they are apt TO gain more
steadily because they did not lose
weight as breast-fed babies ususally do
at the time of weaving.
