Not illustrated. 1811 edition. Excerpt: ... should unquestionably be immediately indulged, if the mother's milk begins to flow into the breast; and should it be slow in its progress, the natural industry of the infant will speedily supply the deficiency. The first milk it can draw is the best medicine in the world to cleanse its little stomach and bowels of the matter acquired in the womb; and at the same time contributes to the safety of the mother, by preventing milk fevers, inflammations, and other complaints incident to women in childbed." It is true it will not at first obtain much j but it will ordinarily get enough to support it until the milk comes, which (as observed by the judicious author just quoted) will be very soon, when thus gently invited by the sweetest call of nature. It is well known tfiat when a child is not put to the breast until the milk is fully come; which in that case is seldom until the third or fourth day, it must be fed: this unnatural food clogs the first passages, occasions acidities, wind, and their unual distressing consequences; recourse is then had to oils, syrups, and even spirituous liquors, which greatly increase the irritation. In this state the poor little babe is at length permitted to suck inordinately from a full breast of milk, while the mother herself is feverish and ill from the sudden change her system has undergone: the fatal effects may be easily imagined; and who can wonder if children so managed are frequently seized with convulsions, and die within a few days. Therefore let me entreat you to take your infants to your bosom immediately, and leave Nature to do her own work, in which, as it respects so material a point as providing food for her offspring, it is almost presumptuous to think her deficient. It will sometimes happen, ...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Maternal Physician: A Treatise on the Nature and Management of Infants, From the Birth Until Two Years Old; Being the Result of Sixteen Years' Experience in the Nursery; Illustrated by Extracts From the Most Approved Medical Authors Some time since, while looking over a file of old newspapers, I cast my eyes upon the obituaries, and was forcibly impressed with the great proportion of children who are yearly consigned to the relentless grave under the age of two years. I revolved in my mind why it was so, and could not avoid concluding that it must be in a great measure occasioned by some gross mis management in mothers or nurses, or per haps in both. Involuntarily I looked around upon my own children, and my heart swelled with gratitude to heaven for hither to averting the shafts of the fell destroyer from them, and permitting the roses of health to bloom on their cheeks with almost uninterrupted continuity.

Book Description
In the second half of the eighteenth century, motherhood came to be viewed as women's most important social role, and the figure of the good mother was celebrated as a moral force in American society. Nora Doyle shows that depictions of motherhood in American culture began to define the ideal mother by her emotional and spiritual roles rather than by her physical work as a mother. As a result of this new vision, lower-class women and non-white women came to be excluded from the identity of the good mother because American culture defined them in terms of their physical labor. However, Doyle also shows that childbearing women contradicted the ideal of the disembodied mother in their personal accounts and instead perceived motherhood as fundamentally defined by the work of their bodies. Enslaved women were keenly aware that their reproductive bodies carried a literal price, while middle-class and elite white women dwelled on the physical sensations of childbearing and childrearing. Thus motherhood in this period was marked by tension between the lived experience of the maternal body and the increasingly ethereal vision of the ideal mother that permeated American print culture.
