More about the book
Focusing on the infant welfare movement, the book explores its impact on infant mortality rates and child health priorities. While it raised public awareness about infant care, the actual improvements in survival rates were less significant than advocates suggested. It delves into the experiences of reformers, mothers, and babies, highlighting the implications of the belief that population growth equates to national strength and future prosperity.
