wire gauze strainer (one made from two thicknesses of butter muslin will do), 1 saucepan, 1 kettle boiling water, 1 bottle for feeding, with two teats. In addition, it is very important to have some equipment to mix baby's food in. Extra food for baby In addition to milk, whether breast fed or bottle fed, baby will need extra food from the age of six months. A good programme for extra food follows below: AT 6 MONTHS. Give baby a bone to chew. This helps him to cut his teeth and develop his jaws. 10 a.m. As soons as the first tooth has come through, give baby a baked crust before his 10 a.m. feed. While he is eating keep an eye on him in case he swallows too big a lump and chokes. Do not give him bought rusks or biscuits. 2 p.m. Vegetable broth (milk) strained, give small amount till he gets used to the taste—½ teaspoon for a start. 4 p.m. Fruit juice—6–8 large teaspoons. 6 p.m. Usual bottle of milk. AT 7–8 MONTHS. Continue giving baby crusts of bread. 10 a.m. Cereal jelly with milk—2 teaspoons. Usual bottle of milk. 2 p.m. Sieved or mashed vegetables—2 tablespoons. 4 p.m. Fruit juice—6–8 large teaspoons. 6 p.m. Egg yolk lightly cooked—your nurse will tell you how to prepare this. Usual bottle of milk. AT 8–9 MONTHS: 10 a.m. Crust—Cereal—3 tablespoons. Usual bottle of milk. 2 p.m. Egg yolk, liver juice plus bottle of milk. 4 p.m. Fruit juice—6–8 large teaspoons. 6 p.m. Fruit pulp—baked or stewed apple, etc. Junket and custard—2 tablespoons. Milk bottle. AT 9–12 MONTHS: 10 a.m. Hard baked crust and crisp toast buttered. Strained porridge and scalded milk 1–2 tablespoons. 2 p.m. Puree vegetables 1–2 tablespoons. Bottle of milk. 4 p.m. Fruit juice. 6 p.m. Fruit pulp 1–2 tablespoons, junket, custard, etc. Bottle of milk. Do not overfeed or stuff baby; feed him slowly and take time. Too many mothers are inclined to overstuff baby and this creates a bad habit when he grows up. Do not leave him to play with his food, teach him to handle a spoon correctly. A fault that is sometimes seen is that mothers are too anxious to get feeding time over for baby. A bottle is put into baby's mouth and the pram rushed at such a speed that baby is not getting the milk at all; he is fighting to keep the bottle in his mouth, all the way. This will not do baby any good; if you must go to town or visit your neighbour feed baby before you go out.
