content: This program covers making a formula and feeding the baby. There is a trend away from breast to bottle-feeding. A majority of babies are bottle-fed at the time of this film. Baby loses weight after birth mostly due to "drying out" from liquid atmosphere in womb. Usually regains birth weight in 10-12 days. Nurses demonstrate how to prepare formula that is "terminal heated"—not sterilized—and therefore must be refrigerated when cool. Hints are offered for preparation of formula and making feeding easier.
