During the first few days OF
habv's life, it will lose a few
ounces, in weight. This is quite
normal, and nothing to be alarmed
about. After this initial loss, now
ever, he should gain regularly
practically half an ounce a DAY.
If he should lose after having
started to gain, it should be con-
sidered serious and a doctor con-
suited.
The normal length of a baby at
birth is about twenty to twenty
one inches, but this also may vary
widely, and still be within normal
/ limits.
The first thing a doctor or mid,
wife should do after the blrth OF
the baby is to put drops" IN It's

BABY'S FIRST MONTH
Part One

This period in a baby's exist
ence is by far the most important
of his whole life. Statistics show
that from one-third to one-half OF
all deaths occurring in the first
year of life take place in the first
four weeks. This is due to va
riety of causes, chief among which
is intestinal or digestive disorder.
The best way of obviating this
will be discussed later in this ar
ticle.
A matter of great interest after
the birth of the baby is always its
weight. There are wide limits
within the normal. Seven to seven
and one-half pounds is the average
weight, but anything from six to
ten pounds is quite normal. The
baby should be weighed at birth
and frequently thereafter, IN
order that an accurate idea of its
general state of health may be
gained. 1t should always be
weighed on the same accurate
scales, at the same hour, anc
dressed in the same clothes. Bal
ances are to be used for this pur
pose and not the ordinary spring
scales, which are very inaccurate
Otherwise, the record will not b.
correct.
