Old books about babies

I love old books.

I have more right now than I can keep....ever....anywhere. But I do love old books.

Came across this one the other night. And thought that it was very quaint for its day...

It is so funny to me that, in 1938, Dr. Aldrich (from Northwestern University Medical School) and his wife felt it IMPERATIVE that someone recognize the fact...yes, babies ARE human beings.

Until I realized that the book was a follow-up to an earlier failed study in 1928.
