BABY NEEDS EXTRA
CARE IN SUMNER TIME

'The baby needs extra care and
watching during hot weather." says
the State Board of Health. ut is not
hot weather alone, however, that
makes babies sick in summer, but
mainly the effects Of hot weather
and their food. For this reason there
is no better and safer food for ba-
bies than mothers milk. Babies
should not be weaned in the summer,
unless the doctor orders it, and then
his advice should be followed in pre-
pairing their milk and other food.
Buy the best and cleanest milk you
can get and keep it cool and covered.
gables often cry because they are
thirsty, Or because they are getting
too much food, or because they are
hot. Give the baby all the cool,
boiled water it wants. Boil the wa
ter for twenty minutes and keep it
cool and covered. Have it fresh ev-
ery day. Dress the baby for comfort
in hot weather On hot days leave
off it's dress and see that its arms
and legs are free to. the air.
"Fresh air is most important to
the baby's health and comfort in the
summer. Keep it out in cool, shady
places as muc11 DIS pOSSlUle out lIee
from flies and mosquitoes. Have the
bedroom windows wide open at night.
"Bathe the baby in cool water at
least once day, or oftener, in warm
weather. If it has prickly heat, put
a teaspoonful of bicarbonate Of So
da in the bath. Use a good powder
after the bath.
eff the baby is sick, stop feeding
it altogether. Give it water instead
and see the doctor at once. Don't let
the neighbors tell you what to do.
Remember that regular feeding,
sleep, fresh air, care of all foods,
plenty Of cool, boiled water to drink.
clean, dry clothes to wear, cool
baths, and the doctor when the baby
is sick, will save the baby during the
summer months"
