CLOTHING
How should the infant be held during dressing and undressing?
Any carpenter will be glad to sell you a vise which can be attached to the edge of the table. Place the infant in the vise and turn the screw until there is a slight redness under the pressure. Be careful not to turn it too tight or the child will resent it; but on the other hand, care should be taken not to leave it too loose, otherwise the child will be continually [pg 098]falling out on the floor, and you will never get it dressed that way.
What are the most important items in the baby's clothing?
The safety-pins which are in the bureau in the next room.
