Oxygen is specially required by the infant, as the growth of new tissues is vigorous and rapid, and any food which reduces the oxygen-carrying power of the haemoglobin of the blood must be detrimental to the health of the child. Another objection has been urged against bread as an infant food, viz., that it is not sufficiently antiscorbutic, and its use therefore tends to the development of certain forms of scurvy and rickets. If bread be used at all for infants, it should be prepared according to the formula of Dr. Churchill. Four ounces of dry bread are soaked in cold water for 6 hours and strained.

The thick mixture obtained by this boiling is strained and forced through a fine sieve, and allowed to cool. But this food is deficient in many things, as explained above, and should be supplemented by adding either boiled milk or meat juice and cream, as advised by some high medical authorities.
