TEMPERATURE OF BABY'S FOOD
It should be remembered that all liquid food for a child up to twelve or fifteen months old should be administered at a temperature no lower than blood-heat. The liquid mixtures named herein may be made in advance of the needs, and placed upon ice merely to preserve them, but should be warmed to a temperature of at least ninety-nine degrees Fahrenheit before administering to the child.
Pure water should be given to all children from the time they are two weeks old.
BANDAGE
The bandage should be removed about the close of the third month.
EMACIATION
In case of slight emaciation or lack of fat, the child should be given an olive-oil rub once or twice a week, rubbing gently into the skin about one teaspoonful of oil.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHILDREN AFTER ONE YEAR
All children, whether breast-fed or bottle-fed, are subject to practically the same health rules after they are about one year old. Therefore I will now consider all children in the same class, and lay out for them what may be termed general instructions in health and hygiene.
