Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. A decent reading copy, withdrawn from a library. Library markings are minimal, but the book shows signs of considerable use--the first signature, from the title page to page 49, is detached, although intact within itself, and the covers are worn. Still, everything is there, and the text is quite clean. It is understandable why this book would have been read heavily, since it gave state-of-the-art instructions for the anxious parent in the days before medicine had few answers other than hygiene (a fairly new concept at the time). Much information on social mores to be found here as well as medical history. Opening the book at random, I find instructions to the wet nurse on what to eat--including a good quaff of ale or porter daily. Really quite a marvelous book.; Ex-library.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This guidebook empowers parents with foundational knowledge on infant care, offering practical advice rooted in insights from seasoned medical practitioners. The first half of the 19th century saw a staggering loss of young lives, with almost half of all infants succumbing to illnesses before their fifth birthday. The author highlights that this tragic statistic is not due to a lack of parental love, but rather a deficit in understanding and education surrounding proper infant care. This book addresses this gap with comprehensive guidance on feeding, bathing, clothing, and managing sleep for newborns and infants. The author emphasizes the importance of regular mealtimes, a bland yet nutritious diet, and adhering to the infant's natural sleep-wake cycle. It also stresses the significance of maintaining the infant's temperature through appropriate clothing and regular baths. By adhering to the principles outlined in this book, parents can make informed decisions about their infant's well-being, promoting their physical and mental health. It empowers them to confidently navigate the challenges of early parenthood, ensuring the best possible start for their little ones. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
