MODEL BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Protection against flies and mosquitoes. The baby must be protected from flies and mosquitoes because malaria and other diseases may be transmitted in this way. Flies are carriers of filth and disease germs and therefore should never be allowed to touch the baby’s lips or the baby’s bottle.

It is important that netting be placed over the baby’s bed and be large enough to tuck in under the mattress. It should not hang down over the sides of the bed.

CHAPTER IV
BREAST FEEDING

Suggestions for demonstrations. 1. Demonstrate how to hold the baby when feeding him. 2. Demonstrate how to weigh the baby.
