**The statistic she gives is this: of the 21,000 births in Paris in 1780,
only 5 percent of them were nursed by their own mothers. Infant mortality rates
were really high with under this system. There were actually public service
sorts of messages encouraging women to breast feed their own children.**

I love that poster, I have it framed and hanging in my dining area,
along with another called Baby on Strike.
Its really fascinating to go thru and look at all the WPA posters.
quite a few are about syphilis! and there are lots of regional ones,
too. The art is interesting, and its interesting to see what was
important then, and what was being promoted (propagandaed?)
