Modern Feeding For The Baby

PROBABLY there is

no

branch of medical science

in which more satisfactory pro- gress has been made in recant years than in the feeding of babies. Certainly the proper- tion of human lives now saved, as compared with former times. is greater in the case of babies than in the case of adults. Many causes have contributed to this gratifying decline of the infant death rate, but no

one

im- factor has been so portant as has the raw knew.. ledge of nutrition applied to in- fant feeding.

Many of these, applications of modern scientific knowledge to infant feeding apply quite as fully and are nearly as beneficial in the case of breast-fed as in the case of bottle-fed babies. The problem. of the non-milk foods at weaning im- time may indeed be more portant in the case of the breast- fed infant because of the greater change in its diet at that time than would be the case of the baby al- ready being fed on cows milk.

"It should be clearly understood, of this sup- however, that none plemental feeding is in any way a substitute for milk, but in all cases it is a supplement. Trying to ind some other main food than milk for babies takes us back rather to the dark ages of nutrition and the murderous effects of the substitu tion of starch paste for milk m the patent infant foods of those day's.

The fundamental changes, in baby feeding belonging to the strictly modern development of nutritional science are for the most part associated with specific nutritional discoveries, and part- cularly with the vitamins. The old- est and best known and most fully appreciated applications are the use of cod-liver oil for vitamin D and of orange juice and tomato juice for vitamin C.

These products, or some of the more recently developed substitutes. that bear the same vitamins, have become widely adopted in feeding infants. The TERSOM for this prompt and general ase was the Fully demonstrated fact that the? vitamins were the specific factors. needed

dreadful, diseases which have always taken a wide toll of infant life.

Thus we had the fear of disease as a powerful' motive to enforce 3 revolutionary change of thought and of practice and the adoption of the general belief that infants should be provided with additional" -specific food substances not sup- plied in sufficient quantity or with suficient certainly by the milk. This statement applies whether the milk be from the mother's breast or in the form of cows' milk modi- fed to imitate the mother's milk.

We need not here elaborate the discussion of vitamins D and C. They have both had a vast amount of publicity. The use of cod- Iver oil orange, juice and tomato. juice in infant feeding are still im- portam and have not been super- seded. The original use has rather been elaborated and the procedure varied.

c cod-- The essential vitamin liver oil is now to be had from several souZTÉS and in several forms. It is the sunshine vitamin: If adequate year-round sun bath- ing for babies were practical. which it would be only in the most favourable climates.

no food of vitamin D would be scarce needed. As it is we have several sources of this vitamin now avail- able, including cod-liver oil in con- centrated tablet form, also halibut liver oil and viosterol We also have milk and some other foods to which the vitamin D has been added in various ways.

Exercise 6-Lie on back, legs straight. Raise left leg and bring it as near outstretched right hand as possible. Do same with right leg and left hand.

Eat plenty of green vegetables and fruity Don't ever forget your daily walk. Sleep at night, and wake up each morning feeling that the day is yours and there is some- fiving fine in it for you if you want to look for it
