Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What You Ought to Know About Your Baby: A Text Book for Mothers on the Care and Feeding of Babies, With Questions and Answers Especially Prepared by the Editor
Woman enters a car with a baby in her arms. An old gentleman rises and gives her a seat beside another woman. The baby begins to cry. The mother bounces him up and down. I suppose the poor little dear is teething, ventures the stranger affably. Yes, replies the mother. He out two last week and now he's on his third. It's put him all out of sorts. Last night he had a croupy attack, and if I hadn't given him a dose of ipecac at once we might have had to send for the doctor.
The mother takes a milk bottle from her satchel, carefully wipes the nipple with a rag, and gives it to her offspring. A gurgle and he is still. The women talk on. The child empties the bottle and begins to fret again. The mother produces a rubber paci fier from her capacious hand-bag, and he begins to gnaw it.
