Moms are going to love this insightful book that takes an in-depth look at an aspect of social history that has been largely ignored: the history of child raising. It covers the superstition and ignorance of child raising that led to high mortality rates such as the use of baby-walkers, the pain of child birth being "good for the soul", excluding fruit and vegetables from an infants diet, etc. and then tells of the many ways the mothers expressed love for the children with the use of objects for eating, sleeping, play, and every stage of development. This often amusing and important historical work is a great browsing book for all.
