In another thread I wrote about writing my life story and as part of the research and preparation for this I have been looking at my old baby book and found the following which shocked and made me laugh at the same time.
When I was 6 months old in 1943 my mother was recommended the following diet for me:
Breakfast - porridge, milk and glucose, steamed fish or fried bread and a little bacon or boiled egg.
Dinner - veal bone soup containing veg, boiled chicken or rabbit or Irish stew, semolina pudding, or rice pudding, or stewed fruit and egg custard.
Tea - bread and butter, rusks soaked in milk, milk to drink and sponge cake.
This is long before the days of little pots of food and I had a vision of me sitting down to a three course meal! Can you imagine anyone recommending this today for a six month old! Anyway, I've survived and am pretty fit for my age!
