  • This film documents the daily routine of a normal, healthy infant in a white middle-class household in pre-World War II America. The baby's routine, almost hour-by-hour, is shown--feeding, napping, outdoor time, the process of sterilization of formula, dinner, and the short time he sees his father at the end of the day. In depicting the baby's routine, the film also illustrates the daily responsibilities of the mother--housekeeping, laundry, food preparation, and the like.
    Produced by New York State Department of Health.

    That baby is around 83 today, if still alive.

    One thing is missing from this daily routine: playing WITH the baby. There is a reason why he doesn't keep eye contact...

    What is the obsession of the baby drinking out of the damn glass.

    Now I know why I was raised by the clock! My parents were, and they turned out scientifically magnificent!

      My mother always did that. I would too if I had my own garden but I would constantly check.

      Neighborhood pedophilia would snatch him up.

      I did but I live in a very rural community sleeping on the back deck was very safe

    A whole lot easier to feed the baby "nature's way."

    This sweet little baby is a very old man now if alive, makes me feel kind of sad.

    Those baby bottles looked like they held a quart of milk.

    Wow! Those disks on a chain look like such a fun toy! The father can only play with the baby 30 seconds a day.

      They can have a little water like in the video, but these days it's not really done. Baby kidneys aren't up to the task.
