A Mother cry: “Au tiree Grantha

my Baby who wasting. I tried

Glazh, and he gradually stroverd

and gained weight. Since then

he never looked back.”

Why Baby cries

Baby cries to let you know that all is not well with him; the poor little fellow has ro other way of telling you. Health and happiness go hand in hand in babyhood, and Baby's crica usully mean that his food does not agree with him.

No food suits every baby, In the food that suits most babics 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.
