To increase when the infant is not satisfied but is digesting well.
_How does an infant show that he is not satisfied?_
He drains the bottle eagerly and cries when it is taken away. He often
forms the habit of sucking his fingers immediately after. He begins to
fret half an hour or an hour before the next feeding is due.
_In the series of formulas given in the table the quantities are
mentioned for making only twenty ounces of food. How should it be
prepared when more than this quantity is needed?_
It is equally convenient to make up 25 ounces, 30 ounces, 35 ounces,
or 40 ounces at a time.
To make--
25 ounces of any formula add one quarter more of each ingredient.
30 " " one half " "
35 " " three quarters " "
40 " " twice as much " "
Thus 25 ounces of Formula I would be obtained by using 2� ounces of
milk, 1� ounces of sugar and lime-water, 21� ounces of water; 30
ounces of the same would require 3 ounces milk, 1� ounces lime-water
and sugar, and 25� ounces water; 35 ounces would require 3� ounces
milk, 1� ounces lime-water and sugar, and 29� ounces water. The amount
of water need not be calculated in any case, but after measuring
carefully the other ingredients enough water should be added to bring
the total up to the amount required.
_How great an increase in the quantity should be made at one time?_
One may make up five ounces additional food; but the first two days
only two or three ounces of the additional amount should be given; the
next two days, four ounces; after two days more, the five ounces may
be given.
The increase in the quantity given at a single feeding should not be
more than a quarter of an ounce.
FOOD FOR HEALTHY INFANTS--THE LATER MONTHS
_How long should the fat be as much as three times the proteids?_
This is seldom of advantage longer than three or four months.
_What changes should then be made in the milk?_
After Formula V of the First Series (6 ounces of 10-per-cent milk in
20 ounces of food) has been reached, the fat should be increased very
slowly for this proportion (3 per cent) is near the limit for most
healthy children. The milk should now be strengthened chiefly by
raising the percentage of proteids.
_How is this accomplished?_
The 10-per-cent milk and the formulas derived from it should now be
discontinued, and those made from 7-per-cent milk used.
_Third Series_
_Formulas for the Later Months from 7-per-cent Milk_
-----------------------------------------------------------
I. II. III. IV. V.
-----------------------------------------------------------
7-per-cent milk 7 oz. 8 oz. 9 oz. 10 oz. 11 oz.
Milk sugar 1 " 1 " 1 " 3/4 " 1/2 "
Lime-water 1 " 1 " 1 " 1 " 1 "
Boiled water 12 " 11 " 10 " 4 " 3 "
Barley gruel 0 " 0 " 0 " 5 " 5 "
-----------------------------------------------------------
20 oz. 20 oz. 20 oz. 20 oz. 20 oz.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since the sugar dissolves, the total will be twenty ounces in each
column.
