Sometimes the excuse is given that the mother is not strong enough to nurse her baby or to have good milk. It is generally believed by specialists that all mother’s milk is good milkâ€" that is, that there is very seldom any fault in the quality though sometimes there may be a s‘caiity supply; but this can be quite easily overcome. It has been proved that nearly every mother can nurse her baby if she really desires‘to do so and firmly be- lieves ifi her ability, and if she and her doctor work in coâ€"operation to- ward this end. There are very few reasons for dis- continuing breast feeding; these are pregnancy, tuberculosis and occasion- ally some acute illnesses. The baby should not, however, be removed from the breast in an acute illness unless the doctor so orders, as there are many sicknesses in which the baby can be nursed as usual for at least a part of the time. “mum” I Regularity is of greatest import- In the first place it IS far eaSIer and‘ance' The baby Should be fed by the it is a timesaver.

Many physicians allow a mother to give an occasional bottle instead of breast feeding when she wishes to be away from the baby for a longer period. If, in an acute illness, the removal of the baby from the breast becomes necessary, it is usually temporary and breast feeding may be continued as the mother convalesces. What must. a mother do to be able to nurse her baby She must begin to prepare before the baby comes. During this period she should see that She Has the best possible medical and nursing super- vision and that she takes the best pos- éible care of herself. She should have more rest and sleep than are usually demanded in her daily routineâ€"at least eight hours at night â€"â€"preferably ninwand an additional rest period of at least half an hour once during the day. It. is also important that waste ma- terial be properly eliminated. The habit of a daily bowel movement: should be regularly established. Proper diet is important. It is nec- essary for her to have milk, fruit and green vegetables daily. This gives not only the vitamins but also mineral salts which are necessary for the formation of the baby’s teeth and bones. A bottle-fed baby, if fed under con- stant medical supei‘visiOn, may make excellent gains and appear to be as well as a breast-fed baby, but those babies fed under medical supervision are comparatively few. Artificial feed- ing without medical supervision is very likely to produce pale, flabby ba- bies who succumb to any illness to which they may be exposed. Why is it an advantage to the mother? Why is it an advantage to the baby? It gives him greater chances to live during the first year. Five bottle-fed babies die to one breast-fed baby dur- ing the first year of life. Also it has been found that the longer the period of breast feeding the greater are the chances to live. It gives him resistance to disease. It is believed that there are certain protective qualities in mother’s milk which are transmitted to the baby, in- creasing his powers of resistance. Breast-fed babies are thus less likely to have rickets, pneumonia and other diseases of the lungs and summer complaint. Eleven bottle-fed babies die of summer complaint to one that is breast-fed. - Good fortune attends the baby who has the advantage of maternal nurs~ ing. This good fortune applies not only to himself mg to his mother as well. ISS U E No. 35â€"‘24. TEE BAfiY’S FEE BY DR. FLORENCE L. McKAY There may be times when the quan- tity of milk becomes less, but this should in no way cause the mother alarm because it can easily be made to return to normal. The first period when this is likely to Occur is when the baby is about two weeks old, about the time that the mother begins to as- sume diet duties. At this time she should be under the doctor’s super- vision. There are other periods when the mother may not be in her usual health or when worry or excitement may be the causes of the lessening of the quantity of milk. Rest and care of the mother are then important for her to regain her usual phvsical condition. The baby should be kept nursing throughout the nursing period and not allowed to stop to sleep unless, as seems to be possible for some babies, he can sleep and continue nursing at the same time. If the baby stops nursing, starting to pull the nipple away or expressing a little milk into his mouth will usually start him going. When the breast milk does become scanty it is important not to take the baby from the breast but- to give him his regular feeding at the reguiar hour and have him completely empty the breast. It is very important for her not to overdo, to have sufficient rest and to have plenty of fluids in her diet. The mother can learn to empty the breast herself by manual expression, which her doctor can teach her. The baby should be nursed in a quiet place where both he and the mother may be undisturbed .The mother should either sit in an easy- chair in a comfortable position or max lie down if she prefers and can keep awake. This gives her additional rest periods of fifteen to twenty minutes regularly. If he then still seems hungry an ad- ditional feeding of a few ounces of milk modified acuording to the doctor’s orders should be ofiered, but always after the breast feeding. An important measure in the meth- od of breast feeding is the care of the mother’s nipples in order to prevent soreness, cracking and the discom- forts that go with it. Nipples should be washed before and after feeding with boiled water. The hands that touch the nipples should always be thoroughly scrubbed. The nipples should be constantly proâ€" tected by a clean piece of linen. If they become dry or crusted the appli- cation of a little mineral oil may help. By these simple precautions much trouble can be avoided. In order to maintain the proper quantity of breast milk after the baby comes there are in addition to main- taining the mother’s~good health cer- tain\things to be remembered about methods of breast feeding that will be helpful. Remember that as a rule every mother can nurse her baby if she real- ly wants to; that it is far better for the baby and also an advantage for the mother; that 'if all mothers would nurse their babies there would be a great saving in infant lives for the great sav whole nat Breast feeding is of vital importance to each one of usâ€"at least once in our Any of the danger signals, such as‘ headache, dizziness, nausea, disturb- ances of sight, swelling of the feet, bleeding, constipation or pains in the stomach, should be reported immedi- ately to the doctor.

After I descended from the pulpit at the end of the service one of the officials of the church came to me and said, “I think you were ill-advised in speaking severely to that young man, because the poor fellow is an idiot.” 'I was much chagrined to know that unwit- tingly I had added affliction to one who was already too sorely afflicted; and ever since then 1 have always re- frained from reproving those who be- have badly in church, lest I should be reproving another idiot.’ For the rest of the service the young offenders behaved perféctly.’ You can get these pills from your druggist, or by.mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine 00., Bro-ckville, Ont. open safety-plus, stay of jewellery, small to}; lie tip of an umbrella “I will not say why I haV'eR recalled these words of my dear old tutor and will only add that they impressed me so much thot I have never yet publicly reproved bad behavior in church.
