PREPARATION FOR MODIFICATION
To begin with, everything that comes in contact with the preparation of baby's food must be absolutely clean. The table on which the articles are placed, and any towel that comes in contact with the articles or the mother's hands, or those of the nurse, must be thoroughly scrubbed.
There is only one way to prepare the utensils that are to be used in making the baby's food, and that is to put them in a large kettle and allow them to boil hard for fifteen minutes just before they are to be used. The articles needed are ([Fig. 12]):
| 1. As many bottles as there are feedings in one day. | 10. A bottle of lime water. |
| 2. A nipple for each bottle. | 11. A fine-mesh, aluminum strainer. |
| 3. Waxed paper for each bottle top. | 12. A square of sterile gauze for straining the food (should be boiled for fifteen minutes with the utensils). |
| 4. Rubber bands for each bottle. | 13. One plate, and later a double boiler (14). |
| 5. A two-quart pitcher. | 15. The sugar. |
| 6. A long-handled spoon for stirring the food. | 16. The milk. |
| 7. A tablespoon. | 17. Ready for the ice box. |
| 8. A fork. | 18. Refrigeration. |
| 9. An eight-ounce, graduated measuring glass. |
