    “Modern Childbirth (1972 edition)”

    Interesting. I wonder what it deemed modern that would be deemed the sheer opposite today.

    I was born around that time, and I know that baby “formula” didn’t really exist back then, it was mostly milk powder and sugar. No healthy mommy milk for me.

      I don’t remember the text in the book; being in kindergarten or 1st grade just learning to read. But discovering (with pictures) what crowning was at that age was, was quite ablative.
