Nursing Mother to Preserve a Happy State—The character also of the child is more or less affected by the nature of the nourishment received from the mother. How important, then, that the mother, while nursing her infant, should preserve a happy state of mind, having perfect control of her own spirit. By thus doing, the food of the child is not injured, and the calm, self-possessed course the mother pursues in the treatment of her child has much to do in molding the mind of the infant. If it is nervous and easily agitated, the mother’s careful, unhurried manner will have a soothing and correcting influence, and the health of the infant will be much improved.—The Review and Herald, July 25, 1899. (Counsels on Health, 80.) {1MCP 167.3}

Plejemoder bevarer en lykkelig tilstand. - Barnets karakter er mere eller mindre påvirket af den opfostring det har fået af moderen. Hvor vigtigt er det da ikke at moderen, medens hun plejer barnet, skal bevare en lykkelig sindstilstand, har fuldstændig kontrol over sin egen ånd. Gør hun det vil barnets mad ikke skades, og den rolige, (168) beherskede adfærd som moderen udviser når hun behandler sit barn, har meget at gøre med at forme barnets sind. Hvis det er nervøst og nemt at ophidse, vil moderens omsorgsfulde og rolige optræden have en dæmpende og tilrettende indflydelse, og barnet vil blive sundere. - RH, 25. juli, 1899. (CH 80.)
