The article outlines infant health duties, including birth registration, feeding guidance, establishing daily routines, care of handicapped and contagious children, and emphasis on physician consultation when defects appear. It also discusses home health teaching, clinic roles for well babies, and how the infant program extends to preschoolers. A note previews Caroline County’s upcoming Christmas Seal Tuberculosis Program.
