It sometimes happens that it becomes necessary to take long journeys with young infants under such circumstances that it is not possible to carry a sufficient supply of milk to prepare fresh food. Usually a day’s supply of food can be prepared before starting and the nursing bottles packed in a pail of ice. When these are exhausted, condensed milk, properly diluted, should be used. There is much less danger in using condensed milk for a short time than in depending upon the fresh milk provided en route.
The excitement of a journey may cause indigestion and it is best at such times to give less food than usual. It is also wise to provide a supply of some bottled spring water instead of depending upon the water obtained en route.
