At its time, infant mortality rates soared due to mothers struggling to produce enough breast milk, and this book gained attention and praise for its success in drastically dropping mortality rates. The author details the nutritional needs of newborns, shows how nutritional deficiencies present in infants, stresses the importance of a mother's diet to her milk quality, and explains how to make a substitute for breast milk using cow's milk. The book goes into detail about the needs of infants during each phase of their first two years, connecting nutritional needs to teeth development and physical growth.
