| Summary | "Mother, Nurse and Infant" by S. P. Sackett is a manual especially focused on guiding mothers and monthly nurses, written in the late 19th century. The book addresses crucial topics related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the care of both mothers and infants, while providing a fundamental understanding of anatomy, physiology, and midwifery practices. It aims to equip readers with knowledge that can be applied in various maternal and nursing situations. The opening of the text begins with parts of the preface that clarify the author's intent—to offer practical and scientific guidance for mothers and nurses involved in childbirth and childcare. Sackett emphasizes the importance of proper knowledge in midwifery, indicating a growing recognition of the role of mothers and nurses in medical situations, especially in the absence of trained physicians. He observes the existing gap in literature regarding practical advice for caregivers and addresses the responsibility of mothers in ensuring the health of their children. The initial chapters elaborate on the conduct expected from mothers before and after marriage, as well as during pregnancy, setting the stage for the detailed instructional content to follow.
