Governments Baby Book Is Best

ounces day by the time he is two
months old. The 1914 baby could not
have solid foods at all during his
first year, other than soft egg, crisp
toast, or zwieback. The 1851 edi-
ton Of Infant Care, however, says:
"Your doctor will decide when
your baby needs solid foods in addi-
ton to milk. Some start giving
these extra foods when a baby is
only few weeks old, others wait
until babies are or months old"
Thumb sucking was sharply criti-
cized in early editions of Infant
Care. The first edition even recon-
mended pinning the sleeve Of the
baby's jacket down over the fingers
of the offending hand for several
days and nights to stop thumb suck
ing. This attitude has been greatly
modified over the years, and the
accepted idea now is that thumb
sucking is one Of the first pleas
ures that a baby gets. Many moth
ers now say that it seems to result
in very satisfied child.
Cod liver oil was added to the
baby's diet in the 1926 edition, and
was identified as containing Vita
min D in the 1929. Frozen foods are
approved in the present edition.
Infant Care is sometimes called
the mothers bible". It has been
translated into languages. The
government printing office sells the
bulletin at 20 cents per copy, and
has become accustomed to many
requests for simply 1.-The book.
INFANT CARE has undergone
major changes since it was first
published. During its lifetime, ad-
vances in medicine, science, and in
what we know about the emotional
development of children have alter
ed much of the philosophy which
the book carries.
; In compiling information for the
current edition, bureau specialists
talked to doctors, nurses, social
workers, psychiatrists, nutritionists,
and parent educators on what the
book should cover. They asked par
ents, living in both the city and the
country, what they particularly
wanted the book to discuss.
The first draft of the revised
booklet was submitted for review to
about 10 persons outside the bureau,
including 81 doctors, psycholo-
gists, 7 nurses, 3 nutritionists, l
anthropologist, social workers, 8
parents, and 2 parent-education
workers.
Fan mail throughout the years of
Infant Cares publication has been
tremendous. From places as distant
as Nigeria have come requests for
it, and copies have even turned up
in small Chinese villages.
The present edition of Infant
Care, like those before it, is an at
tempt to bring together the most
widely accepted modern ideas on
the care of children. One unchang-
ing philosophy throughout all its
editions has been that babies need
a maximum of tender, loving care
to grow into healthy, happy, chill
dren.

hideous triumph at their helpless
