[ REGULARITY IN FEEDING ]
How can a baby be taught to be regular in its habits of eating and sleeping?
By always feeding at regular intervals and putting to sleep at exactly the same time every day and evening.
When should regular training be begun?
During the first week of life.
Should a baby be wakened to be nursed or fed if sleeping quietly?
Yes, for a few days. This will not be required long, for with regular feeding an infant soon wakes regularly for its meal, almost upon the minute.
Should regularity in feeding be kept up at night as well as during the day?
Only up to nine or ten o'clock; after that time a baby should be allowed to sleep as long as it will.
At what age may a well baby go without food from 10 P.M. to 6 or 7 A.M.?
