Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines infant mortality and care during the early 20th century, a time when the mortality rate for children under one year of age was as high as 25% in some areas. The author, a public health expert, argues that many of these deaths were preventable and that there is much that can be done to improve the lives of infants and young children. Infant and child mortality is a class symptom, that the lower the social scale in which the parents live the greater is the proportion of deaths among their young, and this book emphasises the importance of considering the wider societal factors which contribute to infant mortality. The author draws on statistical data to illustrate how the infant mortality rate varied significantly depending on the social and economic conditions of the parents, showing that excessive mortality was associated with poverty, ignorance, and the employment of mothers in factories. The book explores a range of topics related to infant mortality, including the importance of breastfeeding, the dangers of contaminated milk, and the need for proper feeding and care. The author also discusses the role of the state in protecting the health of infants and children, arguing that it is the responsibility of society to ensure that all children have access to the resources they need to thrive. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health, the welfare of infants and children, and the social and economic factors that affect their health and well-being. The author's insights on these issues remain relevant today and offer important lessons for policymakers and public health practitioners working to improve the lives of children.
