This is a very common disturbance in children, and is always due to
disturbed digestion. It occurs in both nursed and bottle-fed babies, and
may appear in the healthiest baby from error in the last meal, or error of
diet or habit in the mother. Some mothers cannot under any circumstances
secrete good nourishing milk, suitable for their children, and continued
stomach and bowel disturbances with colic and emaciation follow its use.
Such mothers should not nurse their baby.
