Feeding. The kinds of food, quantity, intervals, and times of feeding are important.
The only natural and adequate food is mother’s milk. No thoroughly satisfying substitute has ever been found, or is likely to be. Mother’s milk has the following advantages:
1. It is germicidal—it contains no harmful bacteria, and it has elements which destroy disease germs in the baby. The babies that are nursed have a special protection against such diseases as influenza, whooping-cough, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria.
2. It is always clean, and therefore greatly reduces the possibility of diarrhea. Only one breast-fed baby dies to ten bottle-fed babies.
3. It does not sour.
4. It requires no time for preparation or care of bottles.
5. It is always ready.
6. It is balanced in proteins, fats, carbohydrates, for the baby’s needs, and the proportion of these elements changes with his development.
7. It is in fine, soft curds, adapted to the baby’s stomach and digestion.
