Cows’ milk may be used for bottle fed babies, but the most rigid sanitary measures should be used in producing and delivering the milk. There are many baby foods on the market, but the prescribing of food for the bottle-fed baby does not come within the scope of the chiropractor. This should be left to the obstetrician who has specialized in this work. It is not within the scope of Chiropractic to prescribe the kind of food that a bottle-fed baby needs, but the chiropractor must realize the importance of the right kind of food and the necessity for a proper innate adaptation to the kind of food given. Proper feeding is necessary for normal development, although it alone will not insure proper growth and development. The digestive organs must work normally and there must be proper coördinate action between the glands of the body. For this proper balance to be maintained there must be a normal transmission of mental impulses to all parts of the body. The child that is getting a properly balanced ration and still is not developing normally should receive immediate attention at the hands of a competent chiropractor. No phase of the chiropractor’s work brings such gratifying results as the care of infants and babies, yet in no other phase will he find so much to baffle him. If the child is unable to digest the food then adjustments should be given. Sleep The infant requires much sleep and for the first two or three days this sleep will be very deep. The ordeal of labor is very trying on the infant and in cases involving great labor difficulty the first sleep of the infant may be so profound that it may appear to be coma. This may last for several hours, but if there are no convulsions or contractures there is no occasion for alarm; otherwise, this might indicate an incoördination in the brain. After this first deep sleep, and especially after the first month, the infant will not sleep so soundly, although the sleep will be quiet. The deep, heavy sleep of childhood will be observed after the second or third year. The healthy infant sleeps almost all the time during the first few weeks, usually from twenty to twenty-two hours out of twenty-four. After that and for the first six or eight months, he sleeps from sixteen to eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. The healthy infant a few weeks old will awaken only when disturbed or when hungry. A child one year of age should have at least fourteen hours of sleep and more would not be excessive. This sleep should be taken about twelve hours at night and the balance during the day. A child two years of age requires about the same amount. At four years, eleven to twelve hours may be sufficient. Up to six years of age the child should take a daily nap. Ten to eleven hours’ sleep is considered sufficient from the age of six to ten years. The youth up to sixteen or seventeen years of age should have not less than nine hours of sleep and even more will not be excessive.
