!" BABY,
BY Edna Mae McInsosh

If you're planning to take Baby
along to the beach or cottage, by
all means include several extra
bottles of special baby oil in his
equipment. Baby's skin, you know,
is so much more sensitive than
grown-ups that a very small
amount Of sun can cause danger
Gus burns and discomfort. Before
exposing Baby to sun, be sure to
give his tender skin an extra coat
ing of oil.
Baby will enjoy his vacation
especially, if you remember to take
along a good supply of his special
strained foods. They're so easy to
prepare, too - simply warm his
vegetable or fruit and it's all ready
for feeding. By the way, many
doctors are now recommending the
three cereal idea for Baby. There's
a special strained oatmeal avail
able, a barley food, and also
cereal food. All of these new
cereals have added Iron and Vita
Minis of the "B" complex group.
Just add little milk or formula to
the cereal and you have a smooth,
rich, creamy food that Baby viii
enjoy. It's the easy way to see
that Baby gets those added vita
Minis he needs for pep and vitality
= and a grand way to give Baby's
diet the variety it needs to perk
up his appetite!
=
Baby Him
Most Babies love cod liver oil,
providing Mother doesn't show in
any way that she dislikes it. Give
it before the bath so that if some
is spilled it doesn't soil his cloth
