SUGGESTIONS FOR
FEEDING OF INFANTS

Mothers milk is the only Perfect
milk for babies, and wherever pos
sible should be given. If the
mother however can not nurse her
baby for ten months as is most de-
sireab e at least she should make
every effort to nurse it through the
first or 5 months of lfe that the
baby may be protected against the
diseases which claim its victims
amongst the very young infants.
If however for some reason nurs-
ing must be discontinued before
this time cows milk is the most
satisfactory substitute.
Baby Foods::'' Condensed milk
and the like are not good substi-
tutes for good cows milk and often
harm the baby. Raw milk how
ever may carry the germs of tuber-
culosis, scarlet fever, typhoid or
other communicable diseases, and
unless it is above suspicion this
danger should be prevented by
proper precaution, as pasturization,
sterilization or boiling.
In selecting the milk choose one
having a low fat content. Jersey
and Guernsey milk are too rich.
To make cows milk suited for
the baby it must de diluted and a
given amount Of sugar must be
added.
