Formulas for artificial foods sit beside advice on teething and weaning. Anna Steese Richardson's manual walks new parents from baby's birthday through nursing, bottle feeding, and guarding a small digestion, stage by anxious stage. Baby care as the early twentieth century taught it, tender and methodical. Meet the nursery wisdom an earlier generation trusted.
