Advice to mothers a la 1955

Although this post is not strictly about the Wright Family, I had to include this information I found in David's baby book... 


Dr Spock (the pediatrician not the Star Trekky) was really big back in those times, and I think you can see a lot of his techniques reflected in the instructions in this book...


Check this out.....


This is the front cover... Dated 1955...



Advice on the needs of babies... (these blue pages are the inside cover pages)


Don'ts for mothers:



More "advice":



And the baby's timetable....



What do you think "Hold out" means?


And more on the back page...



Interesting stuff....


There is more hand written advice for Mum in the book which has been written by the nurse...


I will post that separately...
