Parents must work together to teach the baby good habits Feeding.—Give up the 10 p. m. feeding. Finish weaning in the tenth month if it is not already done. Give the baby a drink of milk at 6 a. m. and three regular meals but no food between meals, and no sweets in any form. If he is never allowed to taste candy or ice cream he will not miss them. Do not give him tastes from the family table. Teach the baby to hold the bottle himself. During weaning it is well to teach the baby to drink from a cup instead of a bottle. He may begin learning to hold the cup by the end of the first year. Sleep.—Put the baby to bed at 6 in the evening to sleep till morning. He should still have his regular long morning nap and may need a short afternoon nap. Toilet habits—Keep on training for regular bowel movements and begin training for control of bladder. Haercisea and play—Let the baby learn by himself to stand and walk; do not try to teach him this. Let him pull himself up in a play pen or in a crib with high sides. Give him simple toys, too large to be swallowed. Let him find out for himself how to get back toys that he has dropped. Sun baths.—Keep on giving sun baths. Protection against communicable disease.—By this time the baby should have been immunized against diphtheria. Before he is 12 months old he should be vaccinated against smallpox.
