A MOTHER TO MOTHERS Mrs Violet Kelway Libby, herself the mother of three children, has, in her simply written, practical book, "How to Care for the Baby," given much information that will be welcome to the young mother, anxious to do her best for her first baby. The book deals with the many small problems that arise in the life of a baby, matters seemingly too trivial to discuss with doctor or nurse, but important to the well-being of the child. There are chapters giving helpful advice about baby on his "off" days, hints on sun bathing and exercise, on the care of baby when travelling, and much information that should give confidence and serenity to young mothers. "How to Care for the Baby," which is edited by Mr Len Chaloner and published by Messrs George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., has an attractive appearance, with its pastel pink dust cover banded with blue.
