<P>Originally published in 1956, <I>Babies Growing Up</I> aims to compress in to a brief yet readable form, the essentials of successful parentcraft at the time, bearing in mind the four elements of developing a new life ¿ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It seeks to sum up the essence of the mothercraft advice given over the years through the pages of <I>Woman¿s Pictorial</I> and <I>Mother and Home</I>, where some material had appeared previously. It is a comprehensive guide through a baby¿s life from birth through the early years and today can be enjoyed as a historical look at parenting and child development in the 1950s.</P>
