PROPER FOOD
FOR CHILDREN
BY Brice Belden, Nj. d.

IN GGS may be added to the diet
N when a baby reaches the age
of from fourteen to eighteen
months. Eggs do not agree with
all babies although this depends to
some extent upon the manner in
which they are prepared. Coddled
eggs are usually well digested and
are prepared by placing water in a
saucepan on the stove and allowing
the water to boil; the pan is then
removed from the stove and an egg
placed in the water and allowed to
remain for eight minutes.
A teaspoonful of the egg may be
given with well baked potato the
first day, the amount being grad
ually increased until at the end of
n week the baby is eating one egg
daily. After this eggs should be
given only about three times a
week.
Meat may be given when the
baby reaches the age of from eigh-
teen months to two and one.half
years, provided the teeth have been
properly cut. At this time the meals
are reduced to three a day.
As the child grows older he may
eat little bacon cooked until brittle
and mixed with egg for breakfast.
The eggs may be scrambled, poached.
soft boiled or coddled. Baked or
boiled fish with all bones removed
may be given once a week.
The vegetables to. be used include
lima beans, beets, celery, lettuce,
stewed rhubarb, potatoes, spinach,
peas, carrots, string beans, aspara.
gus tips, stewed squash and lettuce.
Desserts like custard, junket, rice
pudding, bread pudding, tapioca and
ice cream may be given occasionally.
Vegetables should be varied from
day to day, in order that the child
may not tire of any particular kind.
The only raw vegetables used are
celery and lettuce. Neither vinegar
nor oil should be put on lettuce.
