YOUR BABY'S APPETITE
B
ECAUSE a mother cannot so
easily determine the whims of appetite of the nursing baby, she is apt to deal with a more sensibly by simply ignoring it.
But the bottle baby-whore- fuses some part of any bottle---- is immediately looked
upon as sick, and his mother is worried into devising some method to deal with it..
Loss of appetite should be look- ed upon as natural some of the time. No one has an unchanging zest for measured amount of food every day in the year. Two or three days of it may mean noth- ing. If it really indicates illness one will know it by the end of that time.
Chronic loss of appetite, on the contrary, demands a change of diet or formula and a lengthened interval between feedings, în or- der to arouse in the child a desire to consume enough food to keep his weight rising naturally. These are logical ways of dealing with the baby's refusal to eat,
Reducing the whole amount of milk, and adding more water, or akimming some of the cream from the milk before preparing the for- mula, or reducing the amount of sugar may be all that is needed to spur the appetite again.
It is unwise and profitless Increase the number of meals per day in order to fool baby into tak- ing more food. The very opposite is the better policy. Food becomes precious when it is scarce.
~ Loss of appettite may indicate illness, but this will display it- self quickly.
Many of our modern babies never have an opportunity to dis- cover the real allure of food be- cause they are so regularly stuff- ed to the point of nausea.
A chronic distaste for food is. more often nothing more than the baby's reaction to quantities of rich food at too frequent in- tervals.
