have been lauded by women for their ease of care.
Today, these simulated woods are making a beeline

McCoy but be a perfect supplement to it.

bringing up baby? hints collected by Mrs. Dan Gerber, mother of 5
Gold-star day in the life of
your baby when two beau
tiful but uncertain feet
take a stab at a step.
Whether it's a "solo flight"
or with your helping hand
doesn't matter. The fact is,
he's made the grade as a gadabout.
What age, wanderlust? It varies, but most
babies walk between 12 and 15 months
. . . some sooner, others later, depending
on ambition and physical development.
Many a parent is tempted to hurry baby
into walking, especially if a same-age
baby down the street has taken that first
step. To urge baby before he's ready,
however, may slow down his desire to
walk. When mind, spirit and body tell
him to go . . . you won't be able to hold
that live wire down.
High-steppers use different muscles now.
And protein's the thing to help develop
those muscles. Gerber Strained and
Junior High Meat Dinners are good
sources of protein because they have 3
times as much meat as regular vegetable
and meat combinations. Add to this ex
tra meat, the goodness of garden vege
' tables and you've casserole dishes that
are exceptionally delicious. Beef, Veal,
Chicken, Turkey, Ham.

stepping easier. (2) Shoes should have
Vi to V of an inch grow room. (3) Toes
should be wide enough for wiggle-room
when baby is standing.
Nutrition note from Dan Gerber." Your
baby's cereals must be readily digestible
if he (or she) is to get full nutritive bene
fit from them. Gerber researchers devel
oped an exclusive, controlled cooking
method which breaks down grain
starches to assure digestibility. In addi
tion, Gerber Cereals are scientifically
formulated to meet your baby's early
nutritional needs ... all 5 are enriched
with a special kind of iron, plus calcium
and B-vitamins."
Important: Gerber prepares over 100 baby
foods-infant formulas, cereals, strained
and junior foods-to meet your baby's
nutritional needs. We're proud to say:
"Babies are our business
...our only business!"
