Talk No. 5 Weaning the Baby. By Anna Steese Richardson, Director of the Better Babies Bureau of The Woman's Home Companion. Weaning her first baby is a dread event "to every . mothert However short or long a period she has nursed himrsheis loathrto deny herself the ecstacy of feeling her child draw -on her for nourishment and strength, the pressure of the little head against her breast, the dining of moist lips, the reaching out of helpless little fingers. Once that babv is weaned she knows that she will feel this joy to a lesser degree and gradually baby will grow from her toward the sterner things of life. Then, too, when the baby has thriv ed on breast milk, there is always more or less fear of substituting arti ficial food that which nature has so generously and safely supplied. For this reason weaning should be a grad ual process, not abrupt, unless emer gencies demand sudden weaning. Such emergencies include acute ill ness on the part of the mother, fever, tuberculasis, serious kidney affections a nervous breakdown, anemia or pro gressive loss of weight in the mother. In such cases the baby must be weaned at once. Again, there are instances where the mother seems to be well, but the baby at six months or more suddenly begins to lose weight and to develop symptoms of retarded physi cal development. These symptoms are: . 1. Excessive vomiting, with loss of weight or no increase of weight "for two weeks or more. 2. A persistent diarrhea, with loss of weight or no increase of weight for two weeks or more. If there is a progressive gain in weight, however, loose bowels are- not a danger signal. a. .steady loss or weight extending over a period of three, weeks or more, in spite of the fact that otherwise the child seems normal. From this it will be seen that the baby should be weighed regularly. In tact a pair of scales has taken the place of the soothing syrup or pafa- foric bottle in the modern nursery, 'hey are the indicator of . babv's conditions. From these variations in weight causes , of illness are traced. The illness is pot drugged nor . the small-pretesting- voice of'the "sick baby silenced by narcotics. ' -;i '-" When any such emergencies arise. the process of weaning must be short and quick. Generally a trained nurse or a nrm, intelligent ana patient mem ber of the family must take the baby away from the sick .mother. If as I suggested in the third article of this series, the baby has learned to take an occasional bottle of modified milk, the task of weaning will be lightened. If he has not been trained to do this, then the process of weaning is trying to both mother and nurse. The cylindrical bottle described in an earlier talk should be filled with modified milk and then set in a pan of hot water until the milk reaches what is known as body temperature. This is tested by dropping a little on the forearm, never by putting the nip ple to the adult's mouth and tasting the milk. As-the baby drinks slowly the bottle may be encased in a wool en bag or knitted cover to hold the heat. The hole in the nipple should be large enough for the milk to run out easily. When a baby under 8 months is weaned, it is safest to start him on modified milk, that is, milk diluted with water and sugar. At ten months, both breast fed and bottle fed babies should be prepared gradually for weaning. A baby nine months old in good physical condition may be taught to drink from a cup. At first only modified milk is served him this way and in small portions. Next conies milk combined with thin oat meal or barley gruel. Then soft ce reals may be fed with a spoon, and finally stale bread, softened in warm milk. These soft foods however, should not be served in quantity, just occasionaly as an alternate with breast m:Jk or modified bottle mil. They are gradual, gentle preparations for the final weaning at 12 months. It is not good for either mother or child to nurse the baby exclusively after the twelfth month. In fact it should be weaned completely at about this time, or the mother becomes anemic and the baby no longer gains in weight, while its muscles become flabby. The weaning of a bottle-fed baby is no less serious than that of the breast fed baby. At fourteen months the bot tle fed baby should be having three bottles a day and two meals of soft f obd and a bottle at 10 o'clock. At 18 the bottle is laid aside, there are no night feedings, and baby is weaned. The breast fed baby that gains steadily needs nothing but breast milk up to the time the scheduled weaning begins, but the bottle fed baby sjhould have from two to eight teaspoonfuls of strained orange juice daily, from six months Upward. This is because in the mother's milk there is a cer tain acid quality not found in cow's milk, which the baby's System re quires. The diet of orange juice should be continued to bottle fed babies after weaning and should be started for breast-fed babies with weaning. Just as soon as the baby can sit up in a high chair he isv welcomed at the average family table. Often this is Father's or Big Brothers only chance to make the acquaintance of the new comer in the family circle. Also his efforts to share the repasts of grown ers 1 have met at contests tell me that many a child's stomach ailments started at the family supper table, Either the child frets for what he sees and its easier to. comply with his de mands than to discipline him or some one thinks it is "cute" to see him eat foods that should be served only to adults, and so the mischief is wrought. The fairest thing to the child too young for solid food is to feed him before the family meal is served and leave him safely sleeping or playing in another room. If it seems neces sary, however, to have him at the fam ily table, then see that he eats only such food a3 he .can digest and as similate. As soon as he can handle a spoon, he may be given a little porrin ger of bread pap, the saiest table dian for a babv one year old. 1 nis is well toasted bread boiled in milk. Next comes farina cooked in half milk and half water. For the benefit of mothers who have asked me at contests for a diet table, suitable for children of various agents, I am giving the following tables, from the folder "Hints to Mothers, compil ed for the Better.

E-67 (ADVERTISEMENT NO. 3) Some Facts That a Mer chant Learned From a Farmer About PROF I TABLE FARMING In an agricultural Section of country, like the one surrounding Lumberton, a Merchant learns many things from Farmers about successful farming. From experienced, reliable and successful farm ers we gather. FIVE FACTS as FOIIOWS, VIZ- FIRST FACT: The cultivation of wet "sobbed" land will not produce crops of great profit. SECOND FACT: Land from which stumps has not been removed cannot be cultivated most economically. THIRD FACT: Farming is an all-year-round business January te January begin with a rush and keep it going. FOURTH FACT: It is best to use best labor-saving farm implements FIFTH FACT: Fertilize well "Feed the land and it will feed you." These facts caused us to plan to help farmers as much as possible. We find we can be of direct service as to some of the facts mentioned and perhaps we can cssist, in a way, as to all of them. We may not be able to assist to any extent in overcoming the handicap men tioned as fact number one there is pnly one way to do this Cut Necessary Ditches As to fact number twoj we ca n render'assistance in-one"way-i-we Dynamite, Caps and Fuse to use in removing stumps.
