Slow To Handle A Baby.

5.-HOw To Handle A Baby.
A baby must always be handled
carefully. Its bones are still part
cartilage and they bend and break
easily. Other bad effects of too
much or carless handling are sore
and painful muscles which make a
baby cross. Handling after eating
upsets the digestion. Jolting,
bouncing and rocking make child
excitable and nervous.
A young baby cannot turn himself
over. His muscles get very tired if
they remain too hong in one posi-
ton. When he is taken up for feed
ing or cleansing, his position should
be changed from side to side, or
from lying on his back to lying on
his stomach. But always the head
and back must be kept straight and
the arms and legs free. The ears
should be kept straight and fiat on
the head. The eyes should be pro-
tected from direct light.
To hold baby on one arm lay
him fiat on his back on your left
arm, support the NECK and head
with the palm OF the hand and
fingers, and press his body close to
your body with the left elbow.
Never throw baby over the should
ed.
A baby should never be encour-
aged to try to hold up his own head
until he is four months old or to sit
up until he is six months old. The
spine, neck and head should always
be supported. Never pick child
up by the arms. Grasp him firmly
by the shoulders or body.
In walking with an older child do
not walk too fast, nor compel him to
reach up to take your hand. 1t is
very trying to walk in that position.
