Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Report on the Physical Welfare of Mothers and Children, Vol. 4: Ireland TO understand the risks thatan infant runs we must try to examine its pre-natal conditions, and the stages through which it passes after birth. A baby coming into the world finds itself in very strange and uncongenial surroundings. Before birth it was kept at a constant temperature, and was protected from injuries by its mother s body. It was nourished by certain substances exactly suited to its need, conveyed to it by its mother s blood. Oxygen was brought to it by the same medium. It had to fight no disease-bearing organisms except those which, but rarely, were circulating in its mother s body. SO long as the mother was free from serious disease, had sufficient and suitable food, and did not exert herself unduly, the infant continued to live its dependent existence, continued to grow larger and stronger, safe and protected. But from the moment when the mother felt the first symptoms Of her confinement the affairs Of the infant changed, and when born it found itself cold and choking in a new world. Its last link with its mother s body was broken and it was free - but what a freedom! Now it had to breathe for itself, draw cold, Often unclean and vitiated, air into those untried lungs. Food no longer came to its body unconsciously, it had to be sought for, taken into the mouth, swallowed and digested, and digestion is a complicated process. Sometimes the food was not what it should be, and instead Of being digested it caused irritation and pain, and so had to be expelled rapidly. The infant s body, unaccustomed to self-defence, had to wage an incessant warfare against disease germs of various kinds, against cold and damp, against injury and against the carelessness and ignorance of those who, although its allies, did not know how to render the required assistance. NO wonder the unequal struggle was Often abandoned, and the child became one Of the thousands who died under the age Of twelve months.
