R H. H G. G has a pound 28 baby not yet a year old and who is the picture of health He did have three abscesses and an adenoid operation before he was five months old she writes and he was such a restless sleeper during his ear trouble that we got to feeding him quite often at night Now in the last seven months he has wakened at least once every night for a feeding He has four daytime feedings and two short daytime naps He is physically perfect and andI I wish I could get him to sleep better at night I used to change him when he wakened but no longer do that as I feared he was waking for that change |
