Second Year - Last Six Months

For the last six months of the second year the meals should be cut down to three at the regular times.

The first meal may consist of fifty-fifty, followed with fruit.

The second meal may be of fifty-fifty and raw vegetables. For the raw vegetables, any may be used that are desired, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, etc. They may all be run through a vegetable-mill before serving.

The third meal should be of fifty-fifty, and followed with cooked vegetables--any of the green vegetables, not including the potato, which is too starchy. A vegetable puree may be given occasionally.

The child does not need anything in the line of starch until the third year is reached.
