""Infant-Feeding: Its Principles and Practice"" by F. L. Wachenheim, first published in 1915, offers a comprehensive guide to the proper nourishment of infants. This historical text delves into the prevailing wisdom of the early 20th century regarding infant health and nutrition, providing insights into the methods and beliefs surrounding infant care during that era.
Wachenheim's work explores various aspects of infant feeding, including breastfeeding, artificial feeding methods, and the introduction of solid foods. While medical practices have evolved significantly since its original publication, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of pediatric care and the evolution of infant-feeding practices. It will appeal to historians of medicine, those interested in the history of childcare, and anyone curious about how infant nutrition was approached in the early 20th century.
