Five Months to FIVE YEARS

Balanced Diet for Growing

Children

HE normally healthy Infant should present no big problems to his mother from birth to five months.

About the age of five months. however, one often inds that 12 baby who has given no trouble hitherto begins to be fretful or constipated or to show definite signs of hunger,

Mother is puzzled as to what to do for the best to put matters right, and it is just at this critical stage that a number of errors may be made with the best possible intentions:

The Ave-months' baby is dis- satisfied because he has reached a atago when his system requires extra ingredients in his dietary. chiefly such minerals as iron and calcium which are not contained in sufficient quanlities in a milk diet alone, to ensure him bodily vigour and steady development.

Needs Extras

Too much bulk in the dietary must be avoided at all costs, so these new ingredients must be introduced in a torn in which roughage and bulk haVE been eliminated and the mineral calls retained. The need is well met by the gradual introduction of strained vegetables.

As

nation we do not make nearly enough use of vegetables and the iden of introducing them to Daby's diet is not sufficiently practised. For a large part of the year, loo, we have not the supply of young and tender vegetables which infants and young children re- quire.

There is no need, however, for any mother to exclude this essential part of her children's diet as long as she linan large range of carefully canned vegetables at her disposal.

Essential Food

I suggest that she should make the fullest possible use of sucli vegetables for children up to school age, expecially at those times of year when raw vege- tables are of doubtful freshness and strong in taste.

Admittedly, it is not an easy matler for a busy mother to prepare and strain small quantities of vegetables for her baby, but there is no need for her to do so if she uses the 'canned variety.

Daby is his small share and the rest can be used for the toddler or for family requirements

At eight and a half months the child should no longer be naturally fed un- less the mother still finds it necessary. to give a small feed at 10 p.m. This should be discontinued as soon as baby shows any inclination to sleep through the night without it.

Cup And Spoon

Al seven months the bottle-fed baby goes on to semi-solida, which ore fed to him with a cup and spoon; the baby, who is naturally fed is ready for this chart as soon as the natural feeds bavo been replaced by a milk mixture.

The second weaning-chart (semi solids) with extras, takes the child up to the age of nearly ten mantis, when he is ready to go on to the third wean- ing-chart, which arranges for Uree well-balanced meata dally in place of baby feeds.

MANY people, try to get their own

opinions, habits, and tastes nc- cepted and practised by those with whom they come in contact,

This trait seems to be particularly pronounced in wives. Some women 'develop the distressing tendency of wanting to mould the husband' character almost from the day of marriage. There are many causes for confugal disharmony, but this tendency is probably one of the most outstanding.

Everyone knows how men belny domineered by women. When the woman attempts that sort of thing they will feel extremely resentful about it.

An example of this wifely tralt came to my notice recently. The husband in the case has a weakness for brown, and, before marriage, had nearly all his sults In some form or combination of that colour. Soon after the wedding, however, the wife turn. cat her managerial eye on the question and insisted so much on his giving brown a long rest that the huistinad finally gave in, in order to stop her continual hurping on the matter.

But her triumph has had a'curious effect. The husband has ceased to an interest both in his own clothes and in hers, much to her chagrin.
