DEFICIENCY OF MILK.

Deficiency of milk can exist even in a period very soon after birth and still being removed. This, however, is not to be carried out by the media too often resorted to; as is the custom with many, two or three weeks after childbirth, if the power supply to the infant is scarce, to participate in much of malt liquor to its increase. Sooner or later this will be found detrimental to the Constitution of the mother: but how, then, is this deficiency to be consider? Let the nurse keep but in good health and this point gained, milk, both as to the quantity and quality, is so broad, nutritious and good, as can be produced by the individual.

I would recommend a simple, generous and a nutritious diet; not a description of foods exclusively, but, of course, a healthy animal and vegetable diet, mixed with or without wine, or malt liquor, according to old habit; and, occasionally, where malt liquor was never previously taken, a pint of ale good sound can be taken daily with advantage, if he agrees with the stomach. Regular exercise outdoors is of the utmost importance, because it has an extraordinary influence on promotion of healthy milk secretion. Soon after leaving the room lying-in-Office of transportation, it can be obtained, it is preferable, to be exchanged, in a week or so, for the financial year of the horse, or the daily walk. The shower water Salty warm or cold, should be used every morning; But if it cannot be supported, sponge the body withsalt-water must be replaced.

To adopt with perseverance the previous plan, a breast milk shall be obtained as large in quantity and quality, as the Constitution of the father may produce, as proves the following case:

I watched a lady twenty-four years old, a delicate, but healthy woman, in her first confinement. The work was good. Every thing went well for the first week, except that, although the breasts become enlarged and promised a good supply of food for the baby, its closure had just a little nipple disinfectant. During the next fortnight a slight increase, but very gradual quantity took place, for a dessert spoon was obtained only mid-in this period and perhaps double that amount at its expiration. In the meantime, the child was not necessarily fueled after an artificial diet and consequently your bowels became deranged and followed by a severe diarrhoea.

For three or four days was a question whether a little would live, for so long had been reduced by the looseness of guts that he had no strength to grab the nipple of her nurse; milk, so it was bound to be drawn, and he fed the child of a spoon. After the expiry of a few days, however, he could get breast milk for you; and, to make less than the case, during the same month, the mother and the child returned home, the former having a very good part of healthy milk in her womb and child perfectly recovered and of course prosperous fast about it.

Where, however, there has been a deficiency of the beginning of the supply of food, that will happen more frequently than before the sixth or seventh month, baby demands will be greater than the mother can meet. The disability must be composed of artificial food, which must be of type usually employed before the sixth month and given through the bottle.
