Newborn Medicine and Society: European Background and American Practice (1750-1975) - Hardcover
Traces the development of care for infants from medical neglect to highly organized and complex medical care, and the birth of governmental interest in the health of babies, including the adoption of the infant mortality rate as a barometer of national health. After a survey of practices before 1700, this history begins with the abandonment of traditional childbirth practices in favor of hospital births, and follows the technological improvements in medicine available to newborns and growth in understanding of both the causes and ramifications of infant mortality. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
