THE MATERNAL MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.
Chapter I.
ON THE GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD.
The line of demarcation made between infancy and childhood, both by
ancient and modern writers, has always been arbitrary. I would draw the
line between the two, at a period of time which appears to me to be the
most natural, the most simple, and least likely to lead the reader into
the danger of misapplying any part of the practical directions of this,
or any future chapter of the work. We will consider, then, that--
Infancy, commencing with birth, extends to about the end of the second
year, when the first dentition is completed.
Childhood extends from about the second, to the seventh or eighth
year, when the second dentition is commenced.
Sect. I. DIETETICS OF INFANCY.
In the early months of infancy the organs of digestion are unsuited to
any other food than that derived from the breast of the mother.
