How about... (hope it comes through without = and 20's)

Thus in the anxious time, which Pierre would never forget, after the 
birth of their first child, when they tried three different wetnurses 
for the delicate baby and Natasha fell ill with worry, Pierre one day 
told her of Rousseau¹s views (with which he was in complete agreement) 
of how unnatural and deleterious it was to have wetnurses at all.  
When the next baby was born, in spite of vigorous opposition from her 
mother, the doctors and even from her husband himself‹who were all 
against her nursing the baby, which to them was something unheard of 
and pernicious‹she insisted on having her own way, and after that 
nursed all her children herself.
‹Tolstoy. War and Peace. Epilogue. Part I. Chapter 10
