INFANT MORTALITY
LOSS DUE TO SMOTHERING (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 26. Deploring the recent loss of infant life through smothering, the Dominion Executive of the Plunket Society urges all mothers to safeguard their babies from this risk by taking advantage of the teaching by the society’s nurses, whose services are free to all, and whose beliefs are that babies’ beds should be made with a firm undermattress covered by a thin, soft chaff mattress, a small flat pillow and coverings arranged for warmth and security without restriction anywhere. The beds at all the Karitane Hospitals are made on this principle, and demonstrations can be seen at the Plunket rooms.
