look after him to see that he is pro-
tected against sun, wind and dangerous
insects.
A young baby may stay in his car
riage or crib on the porch, on the
roof, under the trees or in the back
yard. where the busy mother can look
after him. Older babies who need ex-
ercise may be kept in a creeping pen
either on the porch or in the yard
II 1t is not possible TO provide out
of-doors sleeping places for older ba-
bles, the windows OF the nursery
should be kept wide open most Of the
time.
II the weather be cool or disagree
able 1t will be best TO give the baby
his daily airing indoors or on pro
tected porch
Dress him as for going out open all
the windows wide. and let him remain
in the fresh air for some time.
Very young or delicate babies re-
quire much heat and must be very
covered TO protect them
against being chilled, and a baby un-
der three months OF age should not be
taken out in severe weather. although
plenty OF fresh air is essential TO all
