Book Description

Excerpt from The Care of the Baby: A Manual for Mothers and Nurses, Containing Practical Directions for the Management of Infancy and Childhood in Health and in Disease IT seems often to be taken for granted that the young mother will understand by a sort of intuition the care which her baby requires, as though it needed no more than a newborn animal of some lower order of life. The fact is that such a little animal, Slight though its needs are when compared with those of a baby, has a parent which by instinct is far better able to care for it than is the human mother for her child.
