Excerpt from Maternity Care and the Welfare of Young Children in a Homesteading County in Montana
The work included also a series of children's health conferences. Parents were invited to bring their children to these conferences for a thorough examination by a Government physician who, though she gave no treatment or medicine, advised the parents about the care and feeding of the children and offered them the opportunity of dis cussing the many health problems which are encountered in rearing children. To these conferences the State board of health sent the public-health nurse who is in charge of its child-welfare division. Thus the conferences were a joint activity of the Children's Bureau, the State board of health, and the local neighborhoods in which they were held, where active committees did much to make them a success.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Step back in time to the early 20th century and immerse yourself in the lives of homesteading families in rural Montana. This book delves into the challenges and triumphs of pioneering life, with a particular focus on the experiences of mothers and young children. The author paints a vivid picture of the harsh realities faced by these families, including isolation, limited access to healthcare, and the constant struggle against the elements. The narrative sheds light on the lack of prenatal care, the reliance on untrained birth attendants, and the high rates of maternal mortality. It also explores the impact of inadequate housing, sanitation, and nutrition on the well-being of children. Through detailed accounts and poignant stories, the book reveals the resilience and determination of these homesteading families as they strive to create a better future for themselves and their children. It raises important questions about the role of government and society in supporting families in remote areas and ensuring the health and welfare of all citizens.
