Infant Hygiene Edited by Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn. CARE OF THE BABY REALLY PAYS A letter from a mother of an 100 per cent baby, who learned that it was better to care for a well baby by a schedule and according to rule rather than take care of an ailing baby all of the time: R. F. D. No. 6, Raleigh, N. C., February 6. 1919. Bureau of Infant Hygiene, State Board of Health, Raleigh, C. My dear Mrs. Vaughn: I am sending you herewith a picture of my baby, Richard, Jr. He was born April 23, 1918, weight seven and one-half pounds. I nursed him for six weeks and he gained one-half pound in that time. Owing to my own health I could not nurse him and my doctor advised me to put him on the bottle. Realizing that I knew nothing whatever about babies, I got all the advice from the State Hoard of Health for myself and baby. Two little books. Prenatal Care and Infant Care, were sent me and these I studied very carefully and was greatly benefited by doing so. I learned from these books that it was best to have regular hours to feed baby and to give him the same quantity at each feeding, to take very great care in preparing the milk and the bottles and to keep same chilled after the bottles had been prepared for the day. It was a good deal of trouble to do all this, as I must do my work, but I have found that it is much better to take care of a well baby at regular hours than it is to care for a sick baby all the time, so Richard, Jr., has had regular hours for feeding, sleeping, bathing, and waking from the very first day. He has never had a mouthful of solid food from the table. He has had his milk and orange juice, and since he was two months old it has not been necessary to feed him at night, from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m. My baby has always slept by himself, day and night, in a bed—not a cradle, with the windows down from the top. He has never had a taste of soothing syrup or baby medicine and he has never been sick. When he is constipated I use a soap stick and I have had to do that only three times in his life. At the age of nine months, he weighs nineteen and three-quarter pounds, and as my cow was about to go dry I felt he needed more food and applied to you to help me supply him with the right kind. You will be glad, I am sure, to know that he likes his egg and toast and oatmeal jelly and that he continues to gain weight. I am glad you think my baby is attractive, for no mother was ever prouder of her baby than I am of mine. I think the ''regular'' program has a great deal to do with keeping him well and happy. Yours truly, (Signed) Mrs. Richard H. Tyson.
