    CHILDREN DIET IN EARLY CHILDHOOD nn HE average well baby of a year, ^ whether it was nursed or not, will usually be taking whole milk or whole milk diluted with a cereal water. It will, perhaps, be taking in addition a little cereal and beef juice, with orange juice, if its bowels are constipated. It will, in most instances, be having five feedings, at three-hour intervals, begin- ning at six in the morning. If it is not already taking cereals, they should be begun at once. The most easily digestible cereals are barley jelly, oatmeal jelly (strained oatmeal), and farina. A tablespoonful of one of these cereals should be given at the beginning of the nine a.m. and six p.m. feedings.
