In many countries, especially France, Germany, and England, Infant’s Milk Depots (_Gouttes de Lait_) have been founded, at which the poor can obtain infant’s milk gratuitously or very cheaply. The deficit is made up by individual contributions, by public grants-in-aid, or by the profit on milk sold to the well-to-do. Of late years a few English municipalities have begun to administer such Infant’s Milk Depots themselves. Such Infant’s Milk Depots appear to do more harm than good. By providing milk gratuitously or very cheaply they give a premium to those mothers who feed their children artificially, and this leads many who would otherwise suckle their children to bring them up by hand. Vainly in France are prizes offered to mothers, and especially to unmarried mothers, to induce them to suckle their own children, when simultaneously institutions are founded to reward mothers who bring up their children by hand. Infant’s Milk Depots must be under continuous medical supervision, such supervision to include the mothers and children attending the depot, since in default of this there is no guarantee that the mothers would use the milk properly in the nourishment of their infants. Of late it has been found necessary, especially in France, to associate with the administration of the Infant’s Milk Depots the continuous medical supervision of the infants, medical advice to the mothers, control of the use of the milk, and advice to the mothers to suckle their own children. The French Infant’s Milk Depots are now associated with the giving of advice to mothers (_consultation de nourrissons_), so that the mothers can be properly instructed regarding all matters bearing on infant-feeding. Several times a week mothers’ classes are held, at which all possible stress is laid on the need for women to suckle their own children, this theoretical advice being re-enforced by the giving of prizes. If natural feeding is rejected or is impossible, advice is given as to suitable artificial feeding. Domiciliary visits are made to see that this advice is properly followed. Thus the Infant’s Milk Depots tend more and more to develop into centres for the general care of infancy; their original aim will pass more and more into the background as advice to mothers becomes associated with children’s clinics (such as we find already in many university towns), or with hospitals for infants, schools for midwives, and lying-in hospitals. Such a development may be expected in the near future.
