If Baby
Is Restless
and Cries.
Find Out
IF

If pin is sticking in him.
If a button or wrinkle is press
ing into his tender skin.
If his diaper is not quite dry
and roomy enough.
If he wants a drink.
If he has gas on his stomach.
Maybe he would like to
have his back rubbed and
get rid of a gas pain in his
little "tummy."
If he is tired of his basket and
would like to lie in his car
riage or on the big bed.
If he would like to be turned
over.
If he is chafed.
All of these things make a
very unhappy little baby.
Many a baby has been made a
puny little wretch because
mother thought that each time
he cried he was hungry and
let him put into that tiny
stomach-that holds only a
few spoonfuls - more food
than he could possibly digest. -.
If your baby cries a great
deal and seems hungry, there
may be something wrong with
his food. Consult your doctor.
If your baby needs baby
foods remember that we carry
the best line in town.
