| Summary | "Better Babies and Their Care" by Anna Steese Richardson is a health and parenting guide written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the importance of proper care and upbringing of infants, focusing on education in parenthood, hygiene, and nutrition to ensure healthy physical and mental development. It seeks to provide mothers with practical knowledge and insights drawn from scientific research and the author's own experiences. The opening of the book outlines the author's dedication to improving infant health through organized "Better Babies Contests," which evaluate baby health based on established criteria. Richardson stresses that motherhood is both a profession that requires education and a vital responsibility that impacts future generations. She emphasizes the importance of prenatal care, proper nutrition during pregnancy, and a supportive mental attitude to foster a healthy environment for both mother and baby. The author aims to empower mothers by sharing practical advice on various aspects of child-rearing, underscoring that informed maternal care is essential for reducing infant mortality and fostering child well-being.
