Dan and Rugged him

Fretful Infant

II is often supposed that an In
fant which is fretful or crying
after a feeding is having a collie.
More often it is because it is I'M
satisfied and hungry. The reason
the breasts dry up a few weeks
after nursing has begun is in nine
out of ten cases because the baby
has not been allowed to empty
them completely. Perhaps the baby
is too weak, or perhaps satisfied
before complete emptying. But the
nursing mother should learn to
strip the breasts by manual ex-
preston after each feeding until
they are empty. A breast functions
in proportion to the demands made
on it. When it is completely emp
tied at each feeding it increases its
supply with the demands of the
growing infant.
There are cases that are on rec
ord in the breast feeding demon
stration clinics of breasts that
have gone almost completely dry
at the end Of six weeks, when strip
ping and manual expression were
instituted came back so that in 80
days each breast was producing
nearly thirty ounces of milk in "a
hours.
The timing Of breast feelings
can be spaced so the objection
about tying the mother down does
not arise. There is no reason why
the baby has to be fed in the mid
die Of the evening-say, 10 p. m.
The night feeding can be done just
as we'll at / / p. m. or midnight. An
adequate feeding schedule is 8
a. M, 10 a. M, 2 p. m, p. m. AID

Human Lactation
The studies made by the various
groups who have been doing this
work have resulted, as DR.. Rich
ardsrn pointedly puts it, in giving
US first hand knowledge about hu-
man lactation instead of as
hitherto by analogy with the time
honored milk producing mammal
which has so far supplied most of
our scientific data regarding milk
production.
In other words, we are learning
that woman isn't exactly like a
COW and shouldn't be treated as
such.
Breast. feeding with mothers
milk has gone out of fashion for
several reasons. One was that the
young mother of our hurly-burly
age thought it tied her down too
much and wasn't necessary. An
other was that the idea got around
that the modern girl couldn't give
enough milk-the breasts went dry
in a few weeks after birth. This
particular phenomenon when it
occurred was almost always due to
ignorance and lack of proper in
struction on the part of the med
zeal profession.
Still another reason is the idea
which has got about that special
formulate or infants foods are
scientifically better adapted to an
infant then mothers milk. This is
another misconception due to bad
education.
