YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH
By

What is the best formula to
feed young babies? This is the
easiest question to answer you
could ask me. The answer is
mother’s milk. This milk is the
only milk that is specially made
for human babies. We have never
learned to make milk like mother’s
milk, and will probably never be
able to make any milk near as good
for babies as breast milk.
Mothers often say, ”1 don’t
have enough milk.” This is usually
because the mother is not in good
health herself or she does not
nurse regularly. Good milk pro
duction starts before the baby is
born. Mother must have good foods
such as meat, vegetables, fruits
she must be in good health. She
should drink lots of water and
other liquids.
When the baby is born, at first
there is little or no milk. The
first milk is very thin. In 3-4
days, the regular milk comes ia
By having the infant nurse about
every 3-4 hours on each breast
for 5 minutes, the milk is en
couraged to come. Once the milk
has come it will continue as long
as the woman is healthy and eats
well, doesn't get too tired and
most important, the baby con
tinues to nurse regularly. The
most common mistake made is to
say “I don’t have much milk so
I’ll just put the baby to breast
half of the time and give him
a bottle the rest of the time.”
Anyone who has had a milk cow
or goat will tell you that you must
milk them every morning and night.
If one decides it’s too much work
tc milk the cow in the morning,
he will find out very soon there
isn't any milk at night, either.
The same thing happens with human
mothers. If you skip breast feed
ings during the day because you’re
“too busy”, there won’t be milk
when you want it. If you can’t
nurse the baby for some reason,
you can push out the milk with
your hands.
Breast milk for the first 6
months at least is the most im
portant food you can give your
baby. Money can’t buy it. It's
the best first food for the baby.
