3. The milk will be supplied in bottles in a basket, each bottle
containing sufficient milk for one meal, the amount varying
with the age of the child. Infants under two months receive
nine bottles per day; older children receive fewer bottles,
as they should be fed less frequently.
4. If children are sent for the milk, they must be warned not
to tamper with the stoppers of the bottles. On no account
must a bottle be opened until the infant is ready to be fed.
5. Just before using, each bottle should be placed unopened in
a basin, or jug of hot water, and warmed to the proper
temperature. The bottle should then be opened and the
teat put on. The child should be fed at regular intervals,
and fed from these bottles only. On no account should any
other feeding-bottle be used. The teat should be kept
scrupulously clean.
6. When all the milk in one bottle is not used, the remainder
must not be warmed up again, but a fresh bottle opened for
the next meal. Where there are other children this milk
need not be wasted.
7. On no account should any other food be given unless ordered
by a doctor.
8. After using, the bottles should be thoroughly rinsed in cold
water.
9. Breakages will be charged for at the rate of Id. per bottle,
and damage to baskets must be made good. All bottles,
baskets, and rubber rings not returned to the Depot will be
charged full value.
10. It is important that the child should be brought once a week
to be weighed. The Depot is open for this purpose on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2.30 to 4 p.m.
