מחנכין אותן. לשעות. היה רגיל לאכול בארבע שעות מאכילין אותו בחמש או בו׳ כפי כח הבן:
קודם לשנה. שנה אחת קודם לפרקו, אם התינוק חולה ותש כחו ואינו יכול לסבול:
וקודם לשתים. או שתי שנים קודם פרקו אם התינוק בריא. ופרקן הוי התינוקת בת י״ב שנה ויום אחד שאין דרכה להביא סימנים עד זמן זה ואז היא בת עונשין. ופרקו של תנוק הוי בן י״ג שנה ויום אחד וקודם זה אינו בר עונשין:

יומא פרק ח׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
עוברה שהריחה – the fetus smells the scent of a cooked dish and she desires it But if she does not eat, both of them (i.e., the fetus and the mother) are endangered.
על פי בקיאים – physicians who are specialists in their craft.
אין שם בקיאין מאכילין אותו על פי עצמו – this is how it is explained in the Gemara (Talmud Yoma 83a), when is it said that they rely on the words of specialists? At the time when the sick person says: “I don’t need it” or is silent, but when he says, “I need it,” if there is no specialist [available] at all, that is to say, their specialty is not considered worth anything, we feed him on his own word. And even though the specialists say that he doesn’t need it.
עוברה שהריחה. העובר מריח ריח התבשיל והיא מתאוה לו, ואם אינה אוכלת שניהם מסוכנים:
על פי בקיאים. רופאים מומחין באומנותן:
אין שם בקיאין מאכילין אותו על פי עצמו. הכי מפרשה מתניתין בגמרא, בד״א דסומכין על דברי בקיאין, בזמן שהחולה אומר איני צריך או שותק אבל אמר צריך, אין שם בקיאין כלל כלומר אין בקיאותן חשובה לכלום אבל מאכילין אותו ע״פ עצמו. ואף על פי שהבקיאין אומרים אינו צריך:
