    The Start of Life In every work, the beginning is the most important part, especially in dealing with anything young and tender. —SOCRATES. Proper feeding and warmth of body afford practically the sole satisfactions of earliest infancy — expressed by contentment, quiet, and sleep. Improper feeding, and wetness and coldness of the skin, are the leading sources of discomfort — expressed by fretfulness, crying and restlessness. Feed your baby properly, give him pure, cool air to breathe, keep his body “snug,” and he will be contented; ill-feed, starve, or chill him, and he will feel wretched — and will let you know it!
