The best physicians in the world, bar none, are the Germans. They tell us that babies do better on much less milk than has been considered necessary. For instance, Dr. Freer, in the Medizinische Kühlk (Berlin), February 20, 1916, speaking of the good effect the high cost of food in Germany has had upon German babies, states that 90 grams (about twenty ounces)! of milk is all the one-year-old bottle baby of normal weight (twenty pounds) ought to have, other things should take the place of milk in the diet, and Freer has many of Germany's most competent specialists with him. He begins adding sugar to the baby's milk at one month, gradually increasing the amount up to an ounce a day at the seventh month, at which time, the baby is receiving only 300 to 500 grams (twelve ounces to one pint) of milk in twenty-four hours, he also gives the baby starchy foods from the end of the first month, from a tablespoonful to two tablespoonfuls of rice or oatmeal gruel being allowed per day at the age of two or three months. He gives beef or mutton broth, from one to five tablespoonfuls, beginning at the sixth month; also fresh vegetables well cooked and very finely mashed, a few tablespoonfuls every day or two after the sixth month. Of course, all these foods should be given in small quantities at first, and very gradually increased to the full quantities mentioned. Fruit Juices (prune, orange, peach, pineapple)? may be given from the fourth month onward, and crushed  Fruits from the seventh month onward.
