A Social History of Wet Nursing in America: From Breast to Bottle
Ordered this on inter-library loan after reading several excerpts from it in The Lady of Milkweed Manor. Not what you'd call a page turner, but a really interesting look at the progression of infant feeding from wet nursing to formula with a few diversions along the way about society's changing views on nature versus nurture, the role of the physician in child-rearing decisions, and the moral implications of allowing an infant to "fail to thrive" without human milk.
