Thus it is that the | {baby who has nursed for 9 10 L months and has never had a bottle is | | going to make a most awful fuss when { e is introduced to it and it may hap {ven that in order to force a child to take a botile when it is no longer possible to nurse him the mother has | to refuse the breast and offer only bottle until at last he succumbs and takes it willingly All this trouble could be avolded by starting to give each child a bottle from_the very beginning of his life. At first this bottle may contain only water; later he may have one bottle frequently _which contains a milk formula. This can be given when the mother is away and will afford her opportunity for recreation, which might otherwise be denied her and will likewise accustom the child to taking |milk from a bottle. Then weaning | time will never represent suffering and trouble. s | It is the same with feeding from m cup. When a baby is given botttle feedings only until he is well into his second yvear it becomes increasingly difficult 1o get him to take his nourish- ment_from a. cup. The baby of nine months or so should be given some of his milk from a cup from the very beginning. It is not always poss ble for him to take all the milk he needs from a cup. but if each day he has part of a feeding, especially his 2 o'clock feeding, which is fuller and more leisurely meal, from o cup, he will be accustomed to this method of feeding and he will not rebel at it when more and more milk is given o him in this way. If the child has not had such train- ing and the mother is now finding it almost impossible to get him to drink milk except from a bottle, she may try offering him his milk from a glass and use a straw or glass tube so that he can drink it as one drinks fancy drinks at a soda fountain. Milk may be slightly colored with cocoa so as to improve its appearance, and once the | baby has learned this method of drink- | ing he will enjoy it, and the difficulty is solved. So many mothers say, “Since my baby stopped taking the bottle she will not take milk in any form.” That is the fault of the mother. She must find some form in which the baby will take the milk. Buttermilk. Very weak cocoa made with all milk. Malted milk drinks. Milk soups. All of these forms offer ways in which the child can be taught to enjoy milk again. But going back to the bottle drink- ing. It is a mistake to let children over 13 months of age (and this is a liberal limit) continue to take their feedings from a bottle. Children must progress from one stage to the next in feeding as well as in all other forms of natural development, and to keep a child who should be eating like an adult still in the baby stage is to re- tard this development. puzz”cks' Puzsle-Limerick “There’'s a train at or ~4—." said Miss aid the man at the Not four for —4 For four for —4— is too 1.
