ADVICE TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
Dont’ feed the baby with a spoon. The proper food for babies is mothers’ milk.
Fresh air is the brcatlj of life in a baby’s nostrils.
Keep the baby clean and it will stand the heat better.
Don’t stick the nipple in the baby’s mouth every time it cries. Remember, the baby needs a drink of water as much as you do. Do not let the baby sleep in th« same bed with any other person.
Don’t drug the baby with patent medicines, but if sick call a doctor. When the baby is between the ages of one and six months, prepare it« milk to suit its age. Don’t overfeed the baby; there ia more danger of giving too much at a time than too little.
Wait till the baby get* its teeth before you put food into its mouth that needs to be chewed.
Use a common bottle for feeding with a rubber nipple and no tube, and keep bottle and nipple clean by boil* ing and scrubbing.
If the breast milk gives out or for any reason other means, of feeding become necessary, get the best milk you can afford, and make it oa nearly like mothers’ milk as possible.
