Progressive System of Infant Feeding
Does baby's food provide the requisite nourish- ment to advance the rapid development that should take place during the first few months of his life? The use of the 'Allenburys' system removes any doubt that the food will be adequate for all baby's needs. This progressive way is the rational way and the safe way. As baby pro- gresses his food is adapted to suit and promote his gradually developing powers of digestion and assimilation. Thus the balance of nourishment is maintained and robust growth provided for,
