4. Regulate a baby's day by the clock. Everything about its wants
should be attended to on schedule time.
5. Diminish a baby's food the minute signs of illness appear. Most
babies are overfed anyway.
6. Weigh a baby every week until it is a year old. Its weight is an
index of its health.
7. Every mother should get daily out-door exercise. It means better
health for her babies.
8. Every baby should be "mothered" more and mauled less. Babies thrive
on cuddling but they can get along on a lot less kissing.
9. Don't amuse or play with your baby too much. Its regular daily
routine is all the stimulation its little brain needs at first.
10. Don't let too many different people take care of the baby. Even
members of the same family make a baby nervous if they fuss around him
too much.
