    Abstract:
    The initiatives concerning infant health taken by the Italian medical profession during the nineteenth century, such as the move toward greater supervision of babies given out to wet-nurses and the encouragement of day care facilities for small children, are described. Attitudes and practices surrounding breast- and bottle-feeding are also examined. The emphasis is on how such developments affected infant mortality.
