The bottle-fed baby must be weaned from the bottle in the same gradual way. At nine months, if he is in good condition, and the artificial food is properly digested, he may be fed partly from cup or spoon at each feeding. The modified milk fed in the bottle should be divided—half should be served first from the spoon or cup, while the baby is hungry enough to accept food in any form, by any means. Then the second half of his feeding may be given from the bottle. If he is given the bottle first and his hunger is partly satisfied, he will resent the new form of feeding, which is slower and therefore less pleasing to his small majesty. At a year, he is given one entire feeding with cup or spoon, preferably the midday meal. This replaces one bottle feeding. The spoon and cup feedings are then increased gradually and the bottle feedings are decreased. At fourteen months, he gets two meals of spoon food and three bottle feedings; at sixteen months, three spoon and cup meals a day, and a bottle at 9 or 10 at night; at eighteen or twenty months, the night bottle is stopped. The baby is safely weaned. The triumph of modern weaning is due entirely to the fact that it is a natural, gradual process, in contrast to the more abrupt and drastic changes under the old-fashioned methods. The following diet list, which will serve to guide the mother in carrying her child safely through the joint process of teething and weaning, is used in private practice by Roger H. Dennett, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics in the Post Graduate Hospital of New York: DIET FOR CHILD FROM NINE OR TEN MONTHS TO THIRTEEN OR FOURTEEN MONTHS: 6 A.M. Bottle feeding of undiluted, unsweetened cow’s milk, or Breast feeding when there is an ample supply of milk, or Drink of milk from the cup. 9 A.M.
