“ A child five or six months old should not be fed during the night from nine in the evening until six or seven in the morning, as overfeeding causes most of the wakefulness and nervousness of children during the night. ”
B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — Feeding Infants (1919)
“ Children can be taught regular habits by being fed and put to sleep at the same time every day and evening. Nervous diseases are caused by irregular hours of sleep and diet, and the use of soothing medicines. ”
B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — Feeding Infants (1919)
“ During the first two months the baby should be fed every two hours during the day, and two or three times during the night, but no more. Ten or eleven feedings for twenty-four hours are all a child will bear and remain healthy. At three months the child may be fed every three hours instead of every two. ”
