FAIL TO
GAIN WEIGHT

In the underfed baby. failure TO
gain in weight Is usually the first
symptom to attract attention. Crying
often occurs before feeding time,
rather than shortly after feeding,
as is usual In the oyerfed baby. As
a general rule, however. babies thai
are underfed cry much less than
those that arc overfed. This point
the mother seldom appreciates.
In fact, the baby that is moder.
ately underfed may DO quiet and
npathetic, actually crying less than
the normal thriving infant. The
bowel movements are usually infrc.
quent and we'll digested. Supposi.
tories or enemas may be found nee.
sary.
TO correct underfeeding, atten.
ton should first be given 10 the
mothers health and habits. in the
hope OF increasing the quantity and
quality of her milk II these means
are not sufficient then artificial food
should be given to supplement the
breast feeding.
Unless the mothers milk fails
completely. breast feeding should
not be discontinued.
