A child must not be put to the breast, if the mother’s health is very
poor, or if she has any venereal, scrofulous, consumptive taint, or
herpetic disease, St. Anthony’s fire, &c. We have conversed with
females who are subject to the last complaint, and who have
communicated it to their children, which destroyed them all. The
poison is transmitted from the mother to the child. In any of these
cases, the infant must be reared on the nursing bottle. It is best to
use cream instead of milk; the child thrives well upon it, less quantity
answers, and it does not curdle, like milk, upon the stomach.
Atrophy from Suckling.—Some women of a delicate constitution
cannot suckle long without an evident appearance of declining
health; and, if persisted in, it might terminate in a general wasting of
the body and loss of strength, or some morbid affection of the lungs.
When, therefore, a woman finds her health declining, and that she
gets weaker every day with loss of appetite and languor, she ought
immediately to leave off suckling; she should use a generous diet,
with a moderate quantity of wine bitters daily, and, if convenient,
change the air, particularly if an inhabitant of a large and populous
city or town. If the change is not found sufficiently efficacious of
itself, when conjoined with a restorative diet, a course of tonics
should be given. Gentle exercise on horseback or in a carriage will
greatly assist the effect of these remedies.
