sulated bag and try to keep it
warm until feeding time
Not long ago / had a baby in
my Office who had been made very
sick BY doing just this Mother
wanted to 90 shopping and she left
her baby at a friends house. To
save trouble for the friend, the
mother had fixed a warmbottle so
that all the friend had to do was
put on the nipple and give the
milk to the baby.
That evening the baby began to
vomit and had q profuse watery
diarrhea. The baby had several
miserable days and her mother was
worried. In about five days the
baby was well again.
This is what happened: Al few
germs were in the milk. These
germs would have done no harm at
all If the milk had been kept cold
until feeding time and just warmed
up in time to give It TO the baby
The germs would have had no
chance to multiply and the few Of
them were not enough to make the
baby sick,
But germs allowed 10 stand in
warm milk grow very fast. In a
few hours time there are thousands
Of germs enough to make the baby
sick. Warm milk is what the bac-
teriologists call a good culture me-
Ola. When the milk is cold the
germs lie quiet and do not grow.

m up the baby's milk, put 1t in an in
way to manage is to carry the
baby's milk cold in an insulated
bag.
If you are planning a longer trip.
there is another way to manage
your baby's feeding so that this
milk will be safe. This is especially
easy if your baby is receiving eva
pOrated milk.
Fix the water and sugar part of
the formula but do not add the
canned milk. Put enough of the
water and sugar mixture into each
bottle for one feeding, Carry with
you small unopened cans of milk.
At feeding time open the can of
milk and add as much milk you
need to the water and sugar.
The milk is safe without refrig-
Grafton as long as the can is un-
opened. The sugar and water is
also safe without refrigeration.
Don't try to keep any milk left
in the can. You may waste a little
milk, but your baby will be well
# your baby is not on some kind
of canned milk, ask your doctor if
there is AMI reason why he cannot
have canned milk for the trip. If
your doctor says yes, give the baby
the new milk for some days before
the trip so that he will become ac-
custOmed TO the taste.
If your baby is old enough to be
getting fruit. vegetable or meat.
carry along few cans. Open a
fresh ore at each meal, let the
