The Care and Feeding of Children: A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's Nurses (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Care and Feeding of Children: A Catechism for the Use of Mothers and Children's NursesThe constant use of the Catechism as a manual for nursery maids has shown the need of fuller treat ment of several subjects than was given in the earlier editions. An attempt has been made to meet the needs of mothers and nurses outside of institutions who have made the book a nursery guide, especially in matters relating to older children.The author's aim has been not to alarm the mother by acquainting her with all the possible diseases and accidents which may befall her child, but to open her eyes to matters which are her direct and chief concern.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
