LEARNING HOW

ABY'S no trouble at all, boasted a young mother. proudly to me the other day. "She takes her feeds' ¡without any fuss, loves her, bath, and we don't hear a sound from her all night,"

1 "It's all very well to talk now," I nail. "Eho's only three montlu old. but you wait until she's three months older.

There's no reason why all babies shouldn't be perfect angels' fur the. first five months if their day-by-day routine is carried out and they are nor- mally healthy.

"It's when you come to wean them that you'll face your first big problem. If you don't start Baby off in the right way, all your good work of the past will be quickly undone, and she may have a bad setback."

As I told my young friend, I bellove

int gradual weaning straight on la cup and spoon feeding, and "mothers wit have no inating trouble with the pro- cess provided that they are poffent."

·She'll Disapprove

Duby is not likely to faks to the change without a murmur. She wil probably show definite disapproval at first, but, after all you as mother are in charge, and perseverance on your part will win the day.

If Baby registers too much disappro val, wrap her Armly in a clean towel so that the small arms cannot be waved about nor the spoon knocked out of your hand, and go on patiently with the feeding, using a sinllow- bowled spoon with rounded edges.

Pay no heed if she spits back food at first; that le bound to happen until Baby pets accustomed to new tastes and to the feel of the spoon, so carry on until she finally gives in gracefully.. This should only take a few days.

You may be interested in these weaning problems from renders, to- gether with my replies.

Refuses Milk

Now that Baby is being weaned, she refuses to drink milk.

Any that she takes disagrees with her.

GATHER that you have been try. ing to give Baby undiluted milk, and it is likely that her stomach can not digest the large curd.

Some doctors say that no child under two years of age should be given undiluted milk and I would advise you to use diluted milk for weaning purposes

TO EAT.

All Babies are Different says

Introducing Extras

Baby is five months old now, and i should be glad if you would pive me some information on weaning, as that I can go straight on with this chen the time comes.

A6 Baby is making regular progress -and is thriving generally, you can start to introduce certain

extras

In preparation for gradual weaning at seven montly.

1) Before the 10 am. feed give one dessertspoonful of good bone and vege- table broth, for which I shall be very pleased to let you have a recipe. Give patiently in a spoon, not a bottle. Fol low this with the normal feed.

(2) Before the 2 p.m. feed give two tablespoonfuls of boiled' milk with two of water and a level teaspoonful ol sugar; curtall the breant-feed which follown by five minutes,

Poor Start

arine was a premature baby, weigh- ing 618, at birth. Now, at seven months, she weighs 161b. Should I delay rocan- ing as she had such a poor start in life.

Do not advise this, especially as

aho is getting restless long before her next feed is due. This is probably a sign that she needs more food now, and that she is quite ready for gradual weaning.

Make the change-over gradually thus avoiding upsets for both your-; self und Baby.

You have persisted with bottles far

Difficult to Feed

Baby, aged nine weeks, has a hare- lip, and I am worried as to what soll kappen when I come to wean her, for -feeding is dificult now. The doctor says that she must have an operation. Is that safe just now?

THE operation for hare-lip and cleft

palnie is one of the inarvels of modern plastic surgery, and will be performed at no real risk to your little one long before she is weaned.

For a few days after the operation until the stitches have heated nicely ate must be kept from crying, which means that she may be a full-time job for one nurse in hospital if she is at all fretful, but after that her mouth will un perfectly normal again, and she will learn to eat and drink just like any other child.
