    Formulas for Home Modification of Bottled Milk for Feed- ing During Summer Months Summer necessitates cautious, gradual strengthening of formulas. Summer formulas should be used for feeble, delicate infants, and for those whose digestion has been impaired by barley, malt-soup, proprietary prep- arations, pasteurization, and peptogenic milk powder. The weakened digestion renders necessary initiating milk-feeding with a low formula. For a child of three or four months, begin with summer formula No. 4. The first bottle for weaning, at any period of lactation, should be of this formula. Formula No. 1 First Week: Upper J ounce from each of two quart bottles of milk at 2 p.m. Milk sugar, 3J teaspoonfuls. Filtered water, q ounces. Lime water, i\ ounces.
