Why Baby cries
Baby cries to let you know that all is not well with him: the poor little fellow has no other way of telling you. Health and happiness go hand in hand in babyhood, and Baby's cries usually mean that his ⚫ food does not agree with him.
No food suits every baby, but the food that suits most babies. is Glaxo. The pure, rich milk of grass-fed dairy cows, it is so digestible that Baby assimilates it as easily as mother's milk. Prepared simply by adding hot, boiled water. Glaxo provides all the nourishment that Baby needs-it forms a complete food from birth.
