Excerpt from Our Babies: How to Keep Them Well and Happy; A Booklet for Mothers It involves the care of the child, the feeding of the child, the health of the mother, the home environment, the milk supply, - every detail in the every-day life of the healthy child. It is a part of every mother's day, - the bathing and the clothing of the baby, - the details of its apparently petty ills, - its food, its sleep and its play, and so we have come to look upon this work not as infant saving, but as the more positive thing of Infant Welfare. Little things are big things in the lives of these little people. The following pages are written in an effort to aid in preventing the illness and death of Illinois babies. It is believed, however, that this end is more directly attained, - not by preaching the ravages of infantile disease, - but by teaching the simple truth about our babies and how TO keep them well and happy. A well baby is a happy baby. A baby is never cross or fretful by its own choice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
