White blood - a history of human milk
This book is a history of human milk and tells the story of how babies have been fed from antiquity to modern times and why it matters. Starting in Ancient Greece and Rome, it lets the voices of those concerned with the care of newborn infants, and those who follow them, speak across the centuries of how they were, and should best be, nourished.
