The Care and Feeding of Children / A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's Nurses

The catechism that generations of parents kept beside the crib. Dr. L. Emmett Holt answers the practical questions of infant and child feeding, sleep, bathing, and daily care in a calm question-and-answer form that steadied many an anxious new mother. It is the founding classic of modern childcare, plain-spoken and reassuring. A window into how our great-grandparents were raised, and a surprising amount that still holds true.
