whooping cough, or a triple injection against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus. Vaccination Against Tuberculosis: If your family is in contact with an active tuberculosis case, it will be wise to have your child tuberculin tested first. If the test is negative, then a B.C.G. vaccination will be done and will give protection to your child against contracting “T.B.” Contact your Public Health Nurse who will make arrangements for you to take your child to the nearest B.C.G. Vaccination Centre. Deformities: “Club feet” in early infancy when discovered early can be very successfully treated. Consult your family doctor. Teething: Teething usually begins when the baby is about six months old. In the mapority of cases it is quite a simple and natural process. It is best to let the baby have something hard to chew on, a bone ring or a large greenstone Tiki. Any hard article given to the baby to chew on must be clean and large enough to prevent the baby from swallowing it. In some cases the cutting of the teeth is a very hard and painful matter and causes baby a great amount of discomfort. If this happens to your baby get advice from the Public Health Nurse or your family doctor, or there may be little or no trouble at all. Although baby's teeth are formed in his jaws long before he is born, they do not begin to appear before he is six months old, though it is known in some cases for babies to begin teething process at four months. At his first birthday he will probably have six teeth and others will appear gradually until the first set of twenty teeth will be complete at about two and a half years of age. Care Of Teeth: Avoid giving small children biscuits, sweets, and sugar and tinned foods. Give plenty of green vegetables and raw fruit. Feeding From One Year On: 1. Keep to regular meal times. 2. Do not give sweets and pieces between meals. 3. Teach to chew. Soft pappy foods are bad for the teeth. Give at each meal some food requiring chewing. 4. Milk should be brought to the boil, cooled quickly, and kept cool. 5. Give dinner in middle of the day, a big heavy meal at night is indigestible. 6. Do not force a child to eat if it is not hungry.
