CHAPTER I

THE EXPECTANT MOTHER


There can be no grander, more noble, or higher calling for a healthy,
sound-minded woman than to become the mother of children. She may be
the colaborer of the business man, the overworked housewife of the
tiller of the soil, the colleague of the professional man, or the wife
of the leisure man of wealth; nevertheless, in every normal woman in
every station of life there lurks the conscious or sub-conscious
maternal instinct. Sooner or later the mother-soul yearns and cries
out for the touch of baby fingers, and for that maternal joy that
comes to a woman when she clasps to her breast the precious form of
her own babe.


MOTHERHOOD THE HIGHEST CALLING

Motherhood is by far woman's highest and noblest profession. Science,
art, and careers dwindle into insignificance when we attempt to
compare them with motherhood. And to attain this high profession, to
reach this manifest "goal of destiny," women are seeking everywhere to
obtain the best information, and the highest instruction regarding
"mothercraft," "babyhood," and "child culture."

In an Indiana town not long ago, at the close of a lecture, a small,
intellectual-appearing mother came forward, and, tenderly placing her
tiny and emaciated infant in my arms, said: "O Doctor! can you help me
feed my helpless babe? I'm sure it is going to die. Nothing seems to
help it. My father is the banker in this town. I graduated from high
school and he sent me to Ann Arbor, and there I toiled untiringly for
four years and obtained my degree of B. A. I have gone as far as I
could--spent thousands of dollars of my unselfish father's money--but
I find myself totally ignorant of my own child's necessities. I cannot
even provide her food. O Doctor! can't something be done for young
women to preparé them for motherhood?"


MOTHERCRAFT PREPARATION

The time will come when our high and normal schools will provide
adequate courses for the preparation of the young woman for her
highest profession, motherhood. This young mother, who had reached the
goal of Bachelor of Arts, found to her sorrow that she was entirely
deficient in her education and training regarding the duties and
responsibilities of a mother. In every school of the higher branches
of education that train young women in their late teens there should
be a chair of mothercraft, providing practical lectures on baby
hygiene, dress, bathing, and the general care of infants, and giving
instruction in the rudiments of simple bottle-feeding, together with
the caloric values of milk, gruels, and other ingredients which enter
into the preparation of a baby's food.

Product Description
For many years the call for a book on the mother and her child has
come to us from patients, from the public, and now from our
publishers--and this volume represents our efforts to supply this
demand.

The larger part of the work was originally written by Dr. Lena K.
Sadler, with certain chapters by Dr. William S. Sadler, but in the
revision and re-arrangement of the manuscript so much work was done by
each on the contributions of the other, that it was deemed best to
bring the book out under joint authorship.

The book is divided into three principal parts: Part I, dealing with
the experience of pregnancy from the beginning of expectancy to the
convalescence of labor: Part II, dealing with the infant from its
first day of life up to the weaning time; Part III, taking up the
problems of the nursery from the weaning to the important period of
adolescence.

The advice given in this work is that which we have tried out by
experience--both as parents and physicians--and we pass it on to
mothers, fathers, and nurses with the belief that it will be of help
in their efforts at practical and scientific "child culture." We
believe, also, that the expectant mother will be aided and encouraged
in bearing the burdens which are common to motherhood by the advice
and instruction offered.

While we have drawn from our own professional and personal experience
in the preparation of this book, we have also drawn freely from the
present-day literature dealing with the subjects treated, and desire
to acknowledge our indebtedness to the various writers and
authorities.

We now jointly send forth the volume on its mission, as a contribution
toward lightening the task and inspiring the efforts of those mothers,
nurses, and others who honor us by a perusal of its pages.
