Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Water Drinking.

Tho baby. from the time it is born,
should be given water regularly each
day 1t can be fed to him with tea.
spoon and one to two ounces daily is
all he should have, at tho very most.
The water should be given between
feelings and left unsweet ened. Nurs-
ing babies get a. large proportion Of
water In the breast milk az do bot
tie" babies. for all formulas contain
a large percentage of water buth in
the COWS milk and due to the water
added to the formula. Both COW $
milk and breast milk arc sweet and
babies do got thirsty especially dur
ing hot weather when much of tho
water content of the body is being
sent off in the form of perspiration.
When children arc i'll or feveriSh
they need even more water to drink;
but we are speaking not of the sick
but the well child.
IL the child is given water every
day from birth he will take it with
no trouble at all. One to two oun0es
daily. remember, is the maXimune
amount.
When the child is splitting up his
food an hour or more after being
nursed, one or two tablespoons of
water may help the over-rich condi-
IlO0 OF the 1flllh. Ills water SilOulu
be given Just before nursing.
The commonest mistake n mother
makes is to give the baby water
every time he cries. A hungry baby
will sometimes eagerly Eulp down
ounce after ounce of warm water and
for the time being it will fill up his
empty ''tummy." A baby cant
thrive on water. and when he is thus
filled up with water he will be unable
TO drink much of his milk or will
fail to take sufficient from the breast
Thus the condition is never helped.
because the mother goes on filling
him up with water.
When a child is drinking large
quantities of water and is failing to
gain. this is his trouble: Too much
water.
One can overdo even so good a
habit as water drinking, if one tries
to make it take the place of food.
Never sweeten water for the baby.
Sugar is food and water should be
nothing but a drink. If the baby,
after several months of effort. still
refuses to swallow this tasteless po-
ton. it is harmless to add orange
iuice TO it as this does not alter its
thirst rst-quenching qualities and later
the orange juice can be left out and
the baby will take the water alone.
Some mothers use a bottle of water
the same as a pacifier. When the
baby refuses to go to sleep they put
a. bottle of water in his mouth and
leave it there until it does. A we'll
nourished baby needs no such aids to
provoke sleep, and this is just as
bad, almost, as a rubber nipple or an
old. ia shioned "soother.' Babies
should never be taught habits which
later will have to be broken. Water
had best be given from d teaspoon
for that very reason.
