ugh, as it must look rare when done, Give at first one teaspoonful and
gradually work up to one tablespoonful, but do not begin this diet in
midsummer. Give baby plenty of water to drink between meals, boil and
cool.

A diet for the eighteenth month to end of twenty-fourth month? Follow the
same order. For most children milk at 10 p. m. is desirable; but if a
child sleeps during the whole night it is not necessary to wake it at 10
p. m. for the feeding.

6:00 or 6:30 a. m.--Warmed milk ten to twelve ounces.

9:00 a. m.--Two or three ounces of fruit juices.

10:00 a. m.--Cereals similar to the last schedule; they need not be
strained, but well cooked; crisp, dry bread, zwieback, warmed milk one
cup.

2 :00 p. m.--Beef juice and one egg or broth and meat; beef-steak, mutton
chop or roast beef scraped, very stale bread or two pieces of zwieback;
one or two tablespoonfuls of prune pulp, or baked apple and water, but no
milk.

6:00 p. m.--Farina, cream of wheat, or arrow-root well cooked with milk,
salt, but no sugar; or milk or stale bread and milk.

10:00 p. m.--If required, ten to twelve ounces of pure milk.

What fruits may I give during this period? If the child has a weak
stomach, only the fruit juices mentioned, but strong children may have in
addition, baked apple, apple-sauce and prune pulp. Stew the dried prunes
without sugar until they are very soft, and put all the fruit through a
strainer thus removing all the skin; you may give one to two
tablespoonfuls of this at one time. No cream should be given with the
baked apple, and very little sugar with the apple-sauce These are very
good for constipation, Remember to give water freely between the feedings,
especially in warm weather. From one to three ounces may be given at one
time either with a spoon, glass or bottle. Boil the water daily and cool.
Do not allow it to stand in the room, but give fresh water to the child
each time.
