Report Of the Infant Welfare Depart.
ment Of the v. N. A.
In the Infant Welfare department
Of the v. N. A. for the year of 1916,
the nurses have made 995 visits. OF
this number, S92 were propholactfc,
"a feeding, 80 prenatal and ten were
for material aid
The fifty-four special feeding visits
were made to our own babies, who
needed careful supervision for a
short time; four visits were made to
bottle fed babies and two to babies
who had supplementary feeding.
We began the year OF 1916 with
seventy-one babies who were under
two years Of age.
During the year we have added
forty-three new babies. making total
OF ia of our babies cared for during
the year. At the close of the year,
we find we have dismissed as over
age %, and 20 have left the city.
Two babies have died; one OF NAL
nutrition. and one of improper feed
ing. This makes a total of 4S dis
missed, and leaves a alliance Of 66
babies to begin the year, thtrty<six OF
which were born this year.
The nurses feel that much assist.
ance has been given them this past
year, by the members Of the Baby
Welfare league, which was organized
last February. The league had charge
of the better baby week, which was
observed here last spring.
During the hot summer months
they employed nurse to make a
survey and investigation Of the poor
housing conditions of the city, which
has marked effect on the health OF
young children and babies.
We still hold our mothers meetings
at the Y. w C. A. and at the insti
tute, but on account of the smallpox
epidemic. the nurses thought 1t i'm
prudent to have a meeting in Deem
Der and January. While we have not
made as many visits this year as last
we hope just as much good has been
accomplished.
The past year, it seems that every
part Of the city has been visited by
Ne nurses and some requiring much
more time to make the visit.
