TRAVELLING WITH A BABY.
from Mrs. n. T. j., ArHngtOn)
In response to Mrs. r. G. M re-
quest for suggestions on travelling
with a baby, may 1 urge that she
obtain the leaf1et If Your Baby
Must Travel in Wartime" put out
tree by the Children's Bureau, 10
Gated in the Department of Labor
Building at Fourteenth street and
Constitution avenue. 1t contains
invaluable suggestions on all details
of baby's care on train trip. Incl
dentally, all mothers will find a
visit to t.e bureaus office well worth
her while for the numerous free
pamphlets available on all all
phases of child care and training.
From Mrs. J. ~, 5r., Washington
Mrs. r. G. M. has asked for infor-
nation about travelling with her
7-month-old boy. Having Travelled
with my baby at this age I think l
can offer help. Unless you have al
ready used disposable diapers don't
experiment with them on the train.
You need many layers Of them for
even moderate protection as they
aren't very absorbent and you have
to change your baby very frequently.
You could use them the day before
so that your trip will start with a
minimum Of dirty laundry, but your
baby will be more comfortable IN
what he regularly wears as diapers.
If he doesn't wear them already
get pair of rubber pants and over
allS. In the latter he will keep HIM
self cleaner. Remember that your
own hands get dirty on train and
his will too. Don't fuss about it by
washing him all the time, as it will
irritate him and make your trip
miserable. Before meals is enough.
Be sure you bring along his favor
ite toys but don't try to entertain
him. The tsip will be exciting and
he'll find lots to think about il left
to his own devices pretty much.
Put the different foods in small
sterilized jars, with screw-on tops
(the same jars you use for cotton,
oil, swabs, etc, are perfect If you
have them and good way to get
them to where you are going with
out wasting space. When the time
