Difficulties of infant feeding.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS I952 are made to force feeds after his requirements, as judged by disinclination to take more or passing off to sleep, have been met. Detailed charts showing amounts in a feed have been kept for some of these babies over a period of time. The results have been most instructive and fully confirm Wallgren’s observations on breast-fed babies. Though I am not in complete agreement with the views expressed by some that a healthy baby cannot be overfed, experience has taught that underfeeding is a very much more common fault than overfeeding.
