BABY'S FEEDING PROBLEMS
By A Woman Doctor
AMONG the thousands of mothers
♫'who consult me concerning the needs of their babies,, it is safe to say that in the majority of cases the real problems only come when baby has passed the first three months of his life. Up to that time the infant is making excellent headway at the rate of 4-5 ounces per week, and mother is happy.
Now comes the difficulty. At the end of three months the child begins to show signs of more acílve de velopment. He lifts his hend для begins to take stock of his sürround- Ings. He can now definitely focus upon something that attracts. bl attention, and by this thing has also learned to recognise his mother's face and perhaps that of his father.
Up to this point your child hins been spending most of his time in sleeping and growing, and from an infant of seven pounds he will now weigh at least 12 or 13.
At this stage iron and the various other, minerals are vitally import- ant, if bones and nervous system, muscle, and teeth, and the preelotis blood stream are going to play their part in the production of an A 1. future citizen.

Nearly all of these wonderful food elements, as well as vitamins, are found in leafy green vegetables, u well
carrots, beets, and tomatoes.
Until my own twin children were five years old I still held the view that anything out of a Un was never to be given to young growing chil- dren, in the belief that the canning process destroyed the vitamin and much of the actual food value. Three years of intensive study in the problem of Infant and child nutriilos has caused me to reverse my opinion.
One of the best of all arguments for the early introduction of strained vegetables into an infant's dietary is that the child has oequired the faste for green vegetables at any Age when he has not developed a will of his own. Hence the mother wil never be faced with that most prab- lernatte child, one who "simply won't eat vegetables."
Spinach nad tomatoes are not what one calls natural tastes, like sugar, cream, and fruit, so they must be cultivated. Also, in the giving, of minute portions of strained
vegi tables out of a spoon, another lesson Is being taught, so that when the weaning sloge is begun in earnest baby will take foods from cup and
spoon.
