Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Infant Feeding The dependence of the offspring upon its mother for food to supply its primitive needs can only be realized when we remember that one-fourth of the civilized race die during the first year of life, and that 60 per cent. of these deaths are due to nutritional disturbances, while a large portion of the other 40 per cent. are primarily dependent upon impairment of the infant's constitution by improper feeding. The mortality of the first year is nearly 60 times that of the fifteenth year, and it is not until we approach the 85th year that we meet with such a high percentage death-rate. The problem is not simply to save life during the perilous first year, but to adopt those means which shall tend to healthy growth and normal development. The child must be fed not only to avoid the immediate dangers of acute indigestion, diarrhea, and marasmus, but the more remote ones - rickets, scurvy, and general malnutrition. These latter three are the most important conditions that predispose to disease in early life. A growing child requires far more food than its weight would indicate. For, in the first place, its intake must exceed its expenditure, so that it may grow. The expenditure of an organism is pretty nearly in proportion, not to its mass, but to its surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nutrition of the Infant In his endeavour to make his practice as exact and scientific as possible, the author was at one time greatly discouraged by the fact that infant feeding apparently presented almost insuperable obstacles to its rational management in health, and to exact diagnosis and treatment in the presence of disorder. While this applied, to some extent, to the management of breast feeding, it applied with greater force to substitute feeding. In hospital and private practice he was only too familiar with the various attempts to meet the requirements, and had frequent opportunities of testing the results of practically every method at all commonly used. But there were many failures, and, what was even more unsatisfactory, the 'successes' were achieved by means so essentially empirical that they taught no lesson for the future. It must be confessed that others were satisfied where the author was greatly discontent. For it was said to be unreasonable to expect that 'artificial feeding' should be so conducted that its results could be at all comparable with those of breast feeding. This attitude seemed to be the more serious in view of the number of women unable or unwilling to nurse their infants. It was under these circumstances that the author turned to the work of Dr. T.M. Rotch, of Boston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Healthy Baby: The Care and Feeding of Infants in Sickness and in Health The author's chief reason for writing this book was to make clear to the mother just how to do best the ordinary everyday things that every mother has to do for her child. He believes that there is a definite need for a book, which will describe in the minutest detail the daily care of the baby. The description or treatment of any but the simplest ailments has purposely been left out, because a book of this sort which attempts in any way to describe dis eases, does more harm than it does good. A well-trained physician or a specialist in chil dren's diseases finds it difficult enough at times to diagnose the difierent afi'ections, and it only confuses the mother or nurse to describe the different diseases to her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Infant Feeding Iibut rather to amalgamate the best points taught in this country and abroad into what I hope IS a homogeneous whole. It 1s desirable, of course, to make any subject as simple and as easily understandable as possible, and infant feeding need not be made complicated, but, on the other hand, any presenta tion which does not explain underlying processes and the basis of symptoms is not enough for the thinking practitioner of today. As I heard an eminent Philadelphia pediatrist say not long ago, there is at present a tendency to try to make infant feeding so easy for the physician that there is a chance of for getting whether or not the methods used may be suitable for the baby. The general standard of infant feeding in America has, however, improved greatly in the last ten years owing to the increased interest that general practitioners have taken in it, which is shown by the continually increasing numbers coming for instruction to the large post-graduate schools, such as the Harvard Graduate School of Medicine and the New York post-graduate School. To such men as this I respectfully offer this book, and sincerely hope that they may find it of value and interest. I wish especially to thank Dr. W. W. Howell for so kindly consenting to write the chapter on Premature Infants; Dr. R W. Lovett and other members of the staff for permitting me to use several pictures and Roentgen-ray plates taken from their cases in the Children's Hospital; Mr. J. V. Footman for kindly making the prints and taking many pictures, and the publishers for their many courtesies.

Download or read book Infant Feeding written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Feeding: The Feeding and Care of Infants-the-Selection and Modification of Cows Milk Mother's milk is the natural and only perfect food for the infant. Any substitution for mother's milk must be looked upon as a dangerous undertaking justified only by necessity. There is no perfect substitute for mother's milk. This applies to the milk of the wet-nurse, to the milk of the cow or the goat, to condensed milk and to the artificial manufactured food so widely advertised. When it becomes necessary, as it sometimes is necessary, to substitute other food for the mother's milk, the substitute should be a food which is as much like normal woman's milk as possible. A healthy mother whose baby is able to nurse properly need have little concern as to substitutes for several months. If the mother is able to nurse and there is no valid reason why she should not continue nursing, the infant should have nothing but its mother's milk for the first six months of life at least. For many reasons, too lengthy to be discussed here, the physician may decide that the interests of the infant or of the mother require that the infant be weaned. The weaning of an infant is accompanied by so much danger to the child, especially in hot weather, however, that it is the part of wisdom to seek the advice of a physician before undertaking it. Except under special conditions, weaning should not be attempted until every effort has been made to improve the milk of the mother. If the milk is insufficient, a physician should be consulted before artificial foods are adopted. When the breast milk, while plentiful and apparently good in quality, fails to nourish the infant, a change of the mothers diet and habits will often give excellent results. If the infant does not increase in weight, the free use of fats by the mother will soon cause an improvement. The richness of the milk may often be increased by plenty of meat, eggs animal broths and other animal foods. The richness may be decreased by omitting or decreasing these foods and by plenty of fruits and cereals. Over-eating and too little exercise will often increase those elements in the milk which render it most indigestible. Malt extracts and alcohol in the form of beers and ales increase the richness of the milk, but the regular use of these or other alcoholic drinks frequently does more harm than good. Alcohol has been known to appear in the milk, and stale beer drunk by the mother has occasioned serious illness of the child. The nursing mother should drink plenty of pure water. She should drink tea sparingly and should not drink strong tea at all. There is no better food for the nursing woman than good milk. She should use it freely. Foods which may be eaten by some nursing mothers without affecting their babies, cannot be eaten by others. Tomatoes, strawberries and lettuce cannot be eaten by some. For most mothers these fresh foods are of great value and should be eaten freely. Rules Of Diet Must Not Be Too Rigidly Made. There Is No Method Of Feeding So Important That It Should Be Continued If It Disagrees With The Mother. The mother must be in good health to produce satisfactory milk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant-Feeding in Its Relation to Health and Disease: Containing 54 Illustrations, With 24 Charts and Tables, Mostly Original This book has been completely revised; in fact, almost entirely rewritten. Many changes were deemed necessary to aid the general practitioner in working formulae required for home-modification of milk. The author has omitted the greater part of the former chapter on Gaertner mother-milk, inasmuch as the milk is not distributed fresh daily, which is so vital. A new chapter, entitled "Milk Idiosyncrasies in Children," showing how children were fed who could not tolerate milk, is added. Another new chapter, entitled "Buttermilk Feeding," treating of a method of feeding in vogue in foundling asylums, has been added, as has also a chapter on "Scurvy." The dietary for older children has been enlarged. The method of feeding in diphtheria has been rewritten, and the method in use at the Willard Parker Hospital is described. A new chapter on "Feeding Children Afflicted with Cleft Palate" has been added. A great deal of attention has been given to the chapter on "Modified Milk from the Walker-Gordon Laboratory." Much of what had previously been written on this subject has been left out. The author believes that accuracy at the laboratory plus clean utensils is of value in many cases, and cites a successful modified-milk feeding. Some illustrations showing specimens of "Poor breastmilk" have been added. In all, this edition may safely be trusted to aid those in search of practical points in modern methods of breast- and bottle- feeding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feeding of Infants: Home Guide for Modifying Milk The fundamental guides in the feeding of infants are the composition of human milk, the amount of milk secreted by the breasts of a healthy nursing woman, and the capacity of the stomach of the infant. The correct composition of human milk was discovered by Dr. Arthur V. Meigs, of Philadelphia, in 1882. His father, the late Dr. J. Forsyth Meigs, by repeated and untiring investigations, determined accurately the amount of milk secreted by the breasts of a healthy nursing woman.

The percentage of children dying during the first two years of life has been variously estimated and although these estimates are far from being accurate they bring us to two very im portant and shocking conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infant Food and Infant Feeding From various causes, it happens that a large percentage of infants are deprived of their natural nourishment, and it becomes necessary to resort to some substitute to sustain life. This deprivation of their natural food is sometimes complete, but more often it is only partial. It is difficult to say whether this percentage of infants deprived of mothers' milk is on the increase or not. Judging from the number of so-called Infant Foods on the market, the number of children who derive at least a part-of their sustenance from this artificial source must be much greater than is commonly supposed. In many cases, no doubt, it is absolutely impossible for the child to obtain nourish ment from the mother. Under such circumstances, of course resort must be had to some other food. Whenever the food is other than that provided by nature, too much care cannot be exercised in se lecting that which most resembles, in its chemical and physiological properties, that most suitable of all infant foods - mothers' milk.
