Homemaking—
Child Forms Attitude Toward Personal Care at Early Age
GLORIFYING THE BABY has nothing to do with powder and rouge, yet it fixes his or her attitudes toward those and other matters of personal appearance, good grooming, and even general orderliness. The modern baby is washed in warm water, no soap, for three or four weeks after birth, and is oiled from head to foot after each bath. From then on, bath soap of the very mildest variety is used, and oiling continues until the infant is a year old. Thereafter oiling is done once, twice or three times weekly to the age of 3, and occasionally even after that. Oil fixes the scalp also—prevents the tantrum-evoking crust of yesteryear.
