The Care and Feeding of Infants

<p>The Care and Feeding of Infants published around 1905 by the Mellin's Food Company of Boston offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century infant care practices. This historical document provides insights into the prevailing beliefs and methods of feeding and nurturing babies during a time when medical knowledge and infant nutrition were rapidly evolving. While some advice may now be considered outdated the booklet serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the challenges and concerns of parents in that era. It reflects the cultural norms and the role of companies like Mellin's in shaping infant feeding practices through their product promotion and educational materials. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of pediatrics parenting or the social history of the United States.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
