Feeding from the twelfth to the eighteenth month
By the thirteenth or fourteenth month the baby will usually take cereals in addition to milk.
Barley, farina, or oatmeal, in the form of a thick gruel, strained, can be given.
Crackers or zwieback, soft boiled eggs and beef juice may be added gradually to the dietary during this period.
The food should be divided into about five meals daily.
Feeding from the eighteenth month to the end of the fourth year
Five meals should be given in the 24 hours, consisting of milk, soft boiled eggs, soup or beef juice, vegetables, cereals, meat in small quantities.
The general outline of the dietary is as follows :
Breakfast : Juice of an orange, baked apple or apple sauce, cereal, glass of milk, bread or crackers.
10.30 A.M. : Glass of milk and zwieback or toast.
Dinner, 1 P.M. : Soup, meat (beef, lamb, chicken or fish, not more than 2 ounces), simply cooked vegetables, stewed fruit.
4 P.M. : Glass of milk or cocoa, and toast or crackers.
Supper, 6 P.M. : Soft boiled egg, milk, cream cheese, crackers or toast, or farina and milk, junket or sea moss blanc mange.
Milk and butter should be taken with each meal.
As the child grows older, the amount of food must, of course, be increased and variety added. The individual child must be considered and a liberal mixed diet provided. A growing child needs nourishing food and food which is not difficult to digest. Milk, cream, butter, eggs and cereals meet these requirements, and should form the larger part of the dietary. Meat and vegetables are desirable, but should not be used excessively. Coffee and tea are harmful to growing children and cocoa should be used instead. This should be prepared from "cracked cocoa" rather than the powdered form and should be very thoroughly cooked.
From the beginning the child should be taught to thoroughly masticate the food, to eat slowly and not to wash the food down half chewed, with the liquids taken. Water should be taken freely between meals. Children should not be allowed to drink water which is ice cold.
