_Give a proper diet for an average child from the fourteenth to the eighteenth month._ The bottle should not be given except at night. Cereals may now form an important part of the diet. They should be very thoroughly cooked, usually for three hours, and strained. The daily schedule should be about as follows: 6.30 A.M. Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, given from a cup. 9 A.M. Fruit juice, one to three ounces. 10 A.M. Cereal: one, later two or three, tablespoonfuls of oatmeal hominy or wheaten grits, cooked for at least three hours; upon this from one to two ounces of thin cream, or milk and cream, with plenty of salt, but without sugar. Crisp dry toast, one piece; or, unsweetened zwieback; or, one Huntley and Palmer breakfast biscuit. Milk, warmed, six to eight ounces, from a cup. 2 P.M. Beef juice, one to two ounces; and one egg (soft boiled, poached or coddled); and boiled rice, one tablespoonful; or, broth (mutton or chicken), four ounces; one or two Huntley and Palmer breakfast biscuits, or zwieback; and (if most of the teeth are present) rare scraped meat, at first one teaspoonful, gradually increasing to one tablespoonful. 6 P.M. Cereal: two tablespoonfuls of farina, cream of wheat, or arrowroot, cooked for at least one half hour, with milk, plenty of salt, but without sugar. Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, given from a cup. 10 P.M. Milk, warmed, eight to ten ounces, which may be given from a bottle. _Give a proper diet for an average child from the eighteenth month to the end of the second year._ The same order of meals as for the months just preceding should be followed. For most children milk at 10 P.M. is desirable. There are many, however who sleep regularly from 6 P.M. until 6 A.M. without food; for such the night feeding should, of course, not be insisted upon. The daily schedule should be about as follows: 6.30 A.M. Milk, warmed, ten to twelve ounces, given from cup. 9 A.M. Fruit juice, two to three ounces. 10 A.M. Cereals: similar to those given from the fourteenth to the eighteenth month; they need not be strained although they should be cooked and served in the same way. Crisp dry bread, zwieback, or Huntley and Palmer biscuits, without butter. Milk, warmed, one cup.
