10 A.M. Milk, two parts; oatmeal or barley gruel, one part;
from ten to twelve ounces in all may be allowed;
it should be given from a cup.
2 P.M. Beef juice, one to two ounces;
or, the white of one egg, slightly cooked; later, the
entire egg;
or, mutton or chicken broth, four to six ounces.
Milk and gruel in proportions above given, four to
six ounces.
6 P.M. Same as at 10 A.M.
10 P.M. Same as at 6.30 A.M., except that the milk may be
given from the bottle.
_How long may this schedule be followed?_
Usually until the fourteenth or fifteenth month. After this time the
cereals may be given much thicker and fed from a spoon.
_May any other fruit juices be given at this period?_
Orange juice is the best; next to this the juice of fresh ripe
peaches, red raspberries or strawberries. All these should be strained
very carefully through muslin to make sure that the child gets none of
the pulp or seeds, either of which may cause serious disturbance. Of
the orange or peach juice, from one to four tablespoonfuls may be
allowed at one time; of the others about half the quantity. The fruit
juice is best given one hour before the second feeding.
_When should a child be weaned from its bottle?_
Most children can and should be taught to take their food from the cup
or spoon by the time they are thirteen months old; but it is
convenient to give the 10 P.M. feeding from the bottle during the
greater part of the second year (see page 52).
_Give a proper diet for an average child from the fourteenth to the
eighteenth month._
The bottle should not be given except at night. Cereals may now form
an important part of the diet. They should be very thoroughly cooked,
usually for three hours, and strained.
The daily schedule should be about as follows:
6.30 A.M. Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, given from a cup.
9 A.M. Fruit juice, one to three ounces.
10 A.M. Cereal: one, later two or three, tablespoonfuls of oatmeal
hominy or wheaten grits, cooked for at
least three hours; upon this from one to two
ounces of thin cream, or milk and cream, with
plenty of salt, but without sugar.
Crisp dry toast, one piece;
or, unsweetened zwieback;
or, one Huntley and Palmer breakfast biscuit.
Milk, warmed, six to eight ounces, from a cup.
2 P.M. Beef juice, one to two ounces; and one egg (soft
boiled, poached or coddled); and boiled rice, one
tablespoonful;
or, broth (mutton or chicken), four ounces; one or
two Huntley and Palmer breakfast biscuits, or
zwieback; and (if most of the teeth are present)
rare scraped meat, at first one teaspoonful, gradually
increasing to one tablespoonful.
6 P.M. Cereal: two tablespoonfuls of farina, cream of wheat,
or arrowroot, cooked for at least one half hour,
with milk, plenty of salt, but without sugar.
Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, given from a cup.
10 P.M. Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, which may be
given from a bottle.
_Give a proper diet for an average child from the eighteenth month to
the end of the second year._
