Mother, Nurse and Infant
S. P. Sackett
From conduct before marriage to the nursery itself, Sackett wrote a complete course for the Victorian mother and her professional nurse. Pregnancy, confinement, infant care: each stage gets its chapter, along with the era's firm opinions on all of it. The advice has aged, the portrait has not. Few books show nineteenth century family life, its hopes and its anxieties, at closer range.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
