Do eggs often cause biliousness? Very seldom if they are carefully prepared and fed.
How often may I give eggs to the child? Most children at this period will be able to take one egg for breakfast and one for supper, with relish and advantage; however, some few children cannot eat them at all.
MEAT AND FISH.
What kinds of meat can I give to my child? Beefsteak, mutton-chop, roast beef, lamb, boiled chicken and fish, such as shad or bass.
What points should I consider in feeding meat? Most meats should be rare, scraped or finely divided, as a child will not chew it properly. Boiled or roast beef is best; fried meats should not be given to a child.
How often can I give meats? Only at the midday meal, at this period.
Do you think it causes nervousness in children? Not unless too much is given and too often.
