_How long do these symptoms last?_
Usually only three or four days; but there may be no gain in weight
for two or three weeks.

teething?_
Nearly all of them come from indigestion due to bad feeding.
PART II
INFANT FEEDING
_What is the best infant food?_
Mother's milk.
_Of what is mother's milk composed?_
Thirteen parts solids and eighty-seven parts water.
_What are the solids?_
Fat, sugar, proteids, and salts.
_What is the fat?_
The cream.
_What is the sugar?_
It is lactose, or milk sugar.
_What are the proteids?_
The curd of the milk.
_Are all these elements necessary?_
Yes; we cannot expect to rear a healthy infant unless they are all in
his food.
_Of what use is the fat?_
It is needed for the growth of the bones, the nerves, the fat of the
body, and the production of heat.
_Of what use is the sugar?_
It is needed for the production of heat, and to make fat in the body.
_Of what use are the proteids?_
They are needed for the growth of the cells of the body, such as those
of the blood, the various organs, and the muscles.
_Of what use are the salts?_
Particularly for the growth of bone.
_Of what use is the water?_
By means of the water the food is kept in a state of minute
subdivision or in solution, so that the delicate organs of a young
infant can digest it. It is also necessary to enable the body to get
rid of its waste.
NURSING
_Should all mothers attempt to nurse their children?_
As a rule they should do so, but there are many conditions when they
should not.
