BABY'S FEEDING PROBLEMS

By A Woman Doctor

AMONG the thousands of mothers

who commit 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 thonths 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 dificulty. At the end of three monthis the child begins to show signs of more activo de- velopment. He lifts his head and begins to take stock of his surround- Ings. He can now definitely focus upon something that attracts

his attention, and by this time has also learned to recognise his mother's face and perhaps that of his father.

Up to this point your child has been spending most of his time in steeping and growing, and from an Infant of seven pounds' he will now weigh at least 12 or 13..

A this stage Iron and the various other minerals are vitally import- ant

if bones and, nervous system, muscle, and teeth, and the precious 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, as well an in carrots, beefs, and tomatoes,

Until my own twin children were five years old. I still held the view that anything out of a tin was never to be given to young growing chil-

the bellet lint the canning tus destroyed the vitamin and much of the actual food value. Three years of intensive study in the problem of infant and child nutrition ins enused 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 acquired the taste for Arcen vegetables at any oge when he has not developed a will of his own. Hence the mother will never be faced with that most prob- Temalle child, one who "simply won't eat vegetables."

Spinel and tomatoes are not what instes, like sugar,

cream, and

one calls out, so they must be. cultivated. Also, in the giving of minute portions of strained vege tables out of a spoon, another lesson is being taught, so that when the weaning stage is begun in earnest baby will take foods from cup and

spoon.
