Cod Liver Oil All breast fed babies should be given cod liver oil by the time they are a month old. Start by giving two or three drops and gradually work up to half a teaspoon twice daily. Watch and see if baby can take it before increasing the amount. Some babies vomit for a start, and if this continues tell your nurse. Cod liver oil can be given in a teaspoon, or the bottle if baby is bottle fed. The vitamin D in cod liver oil helps form good bones and teeth and prevents rickets, a deformity of the chest, pelvis, arms and legs. Do not feed baby during the night, as both mother and child need a good eight hours' rest. If baby cries attend to him at once, for he may need his wet napkin changed. Then give him a tablespoon of boiled water in a bottle. Do not, however, give him milk. If treated in this way he will soon give up waking during the night. It is important for the mother to avoid strong drink while baby is fed from the breast. Weaning A healthy mother should be able to nurse her baby for six months at least. Some carry on for nine months. There may be reasons why a mother has to wean her child before this time, for instance if she suffers from tuberculosis, cancer, past or present mental derangement, or chronic ill health. It is a good rule not to feed baby by bottle unless the doctor or nurse advises it. If the baby is premature or not doing well, if you find it difficult to feed him or think he is not getting enough nourishment, consult your nurse or doctor. Pregnancy may make weaning necessary, but if the mother is in good health and baby doing well, sudden weaning is not called for. The mother should consult her doctor if she suspects she is pregnant again. Preparation for Weaning The wise mother will get her infant accustomed to taking water and fruit juice from a bottle from the age of two or three weeks, so that if for any reason baby has to be weaned early, he will not refuse the bottle. Occasionally a baby who has never been introduced to a bottle will refuse to take it from his mother, because her presence is associated with feeding at the breast. In normal cases weaning should be done gradually at six to nine months. Many a mother has experienced trouble, so it is wise to consult the nurse and not to wean suddenly. It is better to keep on with both breast and bottle feeding and commence full bottle feeding
