Abstract:
In the early twentieth century, mothers began to turn towards scientific infant-feeding formulae as an alternative to breastfeeding their babies. This is strange because the benefits of breastfeeding were widely recognised. The extraordinary rise of the formula feed therefore demands a special explanation, one that includes an appreciation of key changes in public health, the emergence of paediatrics as a profession, commercial interests and advances in the sciences of bacteriology and nutrition. All these factors conspired to propel the formula feed to the fore.
