Tara Smith links to an 1894 child-care manual (PDF). Remember, playing with babies younger than 6 months just makes them nervous, and always keep your baby's abdomen supported by an elastic band to prevent rupture!

I do wonder how many current dicta will be seen as equally ridiculous a hundred years from now. A lot of advice has flip-flopped just in the past ten, and the breastfeeding advice in this manual now seems more modern than some things that were promulgated in the meantime.
