the windows tightly closed while the family sleeps. Remember, a healthy mother means a healthy baby, and the following instructions show how an expectant mother may keep well. Have a moderate amount of exercise, such as walking and gardening every day, and spend as much time as you can out in the sunshine. Have a warm bath at least twice a week, and put on dry, clean clothing. Keep your clothing smelling sweet and fresh. Medical Care: Report to doctor or public health nurse not later than the fifth month. Take a bottle with a specimen of urine, to be tested every visit to make sure there is nothing wrong. It is advisable that every Maori mother should enter a maternity hospital for at least 7 days, not only to receive skilled attention, but also to have a good rest from the family at home. Besides, it is dangerous to have a baby at home without a doctor or a nurse. All mothers are encouraged to go into hospital. At least 8 hours' sleep is needed every night. When sewing or reading, sit with feet up, as this tends to prevent varicose veins and sore feet. Do not do any hard work or lift heavy weights, such as tubs of washing, water or milk buckets. A dentist should be consulted early in pregnancy, so that decayed teeth may receive attention. The teeth should be well brushed after meals. Diet while you are expecting your baby. The following rules should be observed:— Have not more than 3 meals a day. Do not overeat. Drink 3 cups of milk every day—whole milk, skimmed milk, milk powder, milk and cocoa. Eat ¼lb. liver once a week. Eat ¼lb. fish once a week. Shell-fish is good for you. Eat ¼lb. lean meat 5 times a week if fish is not easily obtained. Eat one egg a day. Eat a little cheese and butter each day. Eat plenty of green vegetables—puha, watercress, cabbage, spinach, silver beet. Some green vegetables should be eaten raw each day. Eat also potatoes, kumaras, pumpkin and other vegetables. Cook potatoes in their skins. Eat raw fruit each day. The best fruits to eat are oranges, New Zealand grapefruit, black currants, tomatoes and lemons, and if possible an apple a day as well. Do not take any strong drink or smoke, if you are to breast-feed your baby. Drink plenty of water between meals—at least 6 cups a day. This keeps the bowels and kidneys in good working order. Oatmeal, wholemeal bread and wholemeal
