HOME NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Red Crss Nursing Service
Assistant Director,
Written for NEA Service

Nearly all doctors advise
mothers -te-HHrse their babies
until they are six or eight months
old if possible. Circumstances
may make it necessary to length
en- or shorten the nursing period,
but this is a matter for the doctor
4 TO decide. If mother has poor
health and the baby is strong and
we'll the doctor may consider
that nursing is an unnecessary
drain on the mother, and advise
weaving the baby at an early
age.
WEAVING is the first import
ant step in making the baby an
independent person, and it must
be done carefully if he is not TO
be unnecessarily disturbed by it.
Choose a time when the baby is
we'll and happy at home where
he feels secure and comfortable.
Under these circumstances he
will scarcely realize that he is
being subjected to a change In
his way of living.
GRADUAL CHANGE
Usually by the time it is nee
essary to wean the baby he has
learned 10 take cereal and mash
ed vegetables from spoon, and
water and orange juice from
cup. When this is the case, wean-
ing is comparatively easy, and
the use of a bottle is unneces-
sary.
To begin with, give the baby a
feeding of cereal and vegetables
at one of his regular feeding pc
RODS, and follow it by breast
feeding. Aftefa few days when
he has become accustomed to the
arrangement, give two such feed
ings each day, followed by the
breast feeding. An additional
feeding may be added at inter-
walls of a day or two until by the
end of two or three weeks. he
is taking cereals. vegetables and
fruits. with milk from cup at
each feeding, and the breast milk
is entirely eliminated. II the
baby's hunger is satisfied and he
gets all the loving and attention
he needs, he will not miss the
breast feelings.
The baby will adapt to the
new procedure more quickly
and will enjoy it more If he is

One of the encouraging things
about Senator Tom Connally as

and even though he doesn't like

Connally was in the middle Of
