HOW TO PRESERVE THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF YOUR INFANT DURING HOT WEATHER.
BATHING.
1. Bathe infants daily in tepid water and even twice a day in hot weather.
If delicate they should be sponged instead of immersing them in water, but cleanliness is absolutely necessary for the health of infants.
CLOTHING.
2. Put no bands in their clothing, but make all garments to hang loosely from the shoulders, and have all their clothing scrupulously clean; even the diaper should not be re-used without rinsing.
