Babies Food Fads

BABY should be taught to

chew slowly and masti- cate his food thoroughly, for it is at this early period of his life that the seeds of good or bad habits are sow.

As baby rows and has moni control over his hands he shouki learn to feed himself, No matter how iumsy and uncontrolled his movements are at first, the mother should aid him as little as possible. She, should, however, see that his clothes are well protected by a large to wellin freder of am apron shape, large enough to cover the front of the dress and Stting well. up around the neck.

It is more pleasing to have a plate of food with the components quite apart. than one in which the meat, potatoj and green vegetables are mixed up into a mass and covered with gravy. The sight of such a plate- ful would be sufficient to cause many a child to become faddy and fretful at meals.

Jellies in fancy shapes or with cochineal or chocolate added as a -colouring make foods appetising to children. It has been found that a toddler takes more interest in mealtime if he is allowed, to help in getting the table ready for himself. Let him carry his small far- nursery table and chair to ourite spot. spread the gay Ettle tablecloth, and arrange the spoon and fork and wobreakable crock- ery. This will increase his keen- ness for the meal.

This shows the error of children being fed at the adult table until they are of an age to eat and dig- est all sensible and correct dishes. Baby's meals need a reasonable amount of variety to stimulate his appetite and to promote the de- elopment of the digestive func tions, but a healthy infant pro- gresses on the same general plan of a balanced mixed diet from day to day, and the sameness of the food is, not a cause of faddiness.
