By examining the often short lives of abandoned babies, the book illustrates the variety of pathways to health, ill-health and death taken by the young and how it intersected with local epidemiology, institutional life and experiences of abandonment, feeding and child-care. For the first time, the characteristics of the babies abandoned to the London Foundling Hospital have been examined, highlighting the reasons parents and guardians had for giving up their charges. Clearly presented statistical analysis shows how these characteristics interacted with poverty and welfare to influence heath and survivorship across infancy and early childhood. The book builds up sources from Foundling Hospital records, medical tracts and parish registers to illustrate how the hospital managed the care of its children, and how it reflected wider medical ideas on feeding and child health. Child fostering, paid nursing and family formation in different parts of England are also examined, showing how this metropolitan institution called on a network of contacts to try to raise its charges to good health. This book will be of considerable significance to scholars working in economic and social history, medical and institutional history and histories of childhood and childcare in the early modern period. It will also be of interest to anthropologists interested in child-rearing and feeding practices, and inter-family relationshipsFoundlingsServices forEnglandLondonHistory18th centuryFoundlingsHealth and hygieneEnglandLondonHistory20th centuryEngland.London Foundling Hospital.abandonment.charity.childcare.ill-health.infant death.motherhood.nursing network.parish officials.patronage.poverty alleviation strategy.survival prospects.welfare.FoundlingsServices forHistoryFoundlingsHealth and hygieneHistory362.7320942142Levene Alysa1976-1500993MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796416203321Childcare, health and mortality at the London Foundling Hospital, 1741-18003727932UNINA
