month to
the end of the second year._

The same order of meals as for the months just preceding should be
followed. For most children milk at 10 P.M. is desirable. There are
many, however who sleep regularly from 6 P.M. until 6 A.M. without
food; for such the night feeding should, of course, not be insisted
upon.

The daily schedule should be about as follows:

6.30 A.M. Milk, warmed, ten to twelve ounces, given from cup.

9 A.M. Fruit juice, two to three ounces.

10 A.M. Cereals: similar to those given from the fourteenth
to the eighteenth month; they need not be
strained although they should be cooked and
served in the same way.
Crisp dry bread, zwieback, or Huntley and Palmer
biscuits, without butter.
Milk, warmed, one cup.

2 P.M. Beef juice and one egg;
or, broth and meat; care being taken that the
meat is always rare and scraped or very finely
divided; beefsteak, mutton chop, or roast beef
may be given.
Very stale bread, or two pieces of zwieback.
Prune pulp or baked apple, one to two tablespoonfuls.
Water; no milk.

6 P.M. Cereal: farina, cream of wheat, or arrowroot, cooked
for at least one half hour, with milk, plenty of
salt, but without sugar.
or, milk toast or stale bread and milk.

10 P.M. If required, ten to twelve ounces of plain milk.

_What fruits may be given at this period?_

If the child has a feeble digestion, only the fruit juices previously
allowed; strong children may have in addition prune pulp, baked apple,
and applesauce. The prune pulp is prepared by stewing the dried prunes
without sugar until they are very soft, and removing all the skin by
putting the fruit through a strainer; of this from one to two
tablespoonfuls may be given at one time. The baked apple should be
given without cream, and the applesauce should have very little sugar.

_How and when should water be given?_

Throughout the second year water should be given freely between the
feedings, especially in warm weather; from one to three ounces may be
given at one time, either from a spoon, a glass, or a bottle. The
water should be boiled daily and then cooled. It should not be allowed
to stand in the room, but fresh water should be put into the bottle
each time.
