Infant-Feeding in Its Relation to Health and Disease : Containing 54 Illustrations, with 24 Charts and Tables, Mostly Original (Classic Reprint) by Louis Fischer
Excerpt from Infant-Feeding in Its Relation to Health and Disease: Containing 54 Illustrations, With 24 Charts and Tables, Mostly Original
This book has been completely revised; in fact, almost entirely rewritten. Many changes were deemed necessary to aid the general practitioner in working formulae required for home-modification of milk. The author has omitted the greater part of the former chapter on Gaertner mother-milk, inasmuch as the milk is not distributed fresh daily, which is so vital. A new chapter, entitled "Milk Idiosyncrasies in Children," showing how children were fed who could not tolerate milk, is added.
Another new chapter, entitled "Buttermilk Feeding," treating of a method of feeding in vogue in foundling asylums, has been added, as has also a chapter on "Scurvy." The dietary for older children has been enlarged. The method of feeding in diphtheria has been rewritten, and the method in use at the Willard Parker Hospital is described. A new chapter on "Feeding Children Afflicted with Cleft Palate" has been added.
A great deal of attention has been given to the chapter on "Modified Milk from the Walker-Gordon Laboratory." Much of what had previously been written on this subject has been left out. The author believes that accuracy at the laboratory plus clean utensils is of value in many cases, and cites a successful modified-milk feeding.
Some illustrations showing specimens of "Poor breastmilk" have been added. In all, this edition may safely be trusted to aid those in search of practical points in modern methods of breast- and bottle- feeding.
