For newborninfants there is now constructed a very small bottleof the same model with a capacity of three ounces,the idea being that when milk is given in a smallbottle, the heat is retained during nursing much better than when asmall quantity of milk is contained in a large bottle. In the lattercase the milk is chilled before the termination of the feeding. Whenfilled the bottles are corked with non-absorben1 cotton. They arecorked loosely, so that the steam may escape. If the cotton is jammedlightly into the bottle, the cork will blow out in the heating.

If the nipples are keptin boric acid the latter is apt to become contaminated, as also thenipples. Before feeding, the bottle of milk is warmed to a temperature ofabout 100° to 105° F.
