Writing project led me to looking through some old references, which led me on a search for it to share.
I haven't come across it yet, but here is another that I found fascinating. It is by Harold Waller, British pediatrician practicing during the WW II. Of special interest is the descriptions of early postpartum breast changes, various types of prenatal breast care (or not) and especially the statistics which we are still trying to work toward 7 1/2 decades later. There is no mention of analgesia/anesthesia in labor and delivery, nor nursery practices on how soon breastfeeding was commenced, nor how often, but nevertheless, I think there are some valuable insights that prenatal caregivers, instructors and expectant mothers might find worthwhile and interesting to read.

If I can find the others he wrote, I'll share them too, especially the one with a foot note re: Truby King, whose practices were discussed on LN not too long ago.
Raining like crazy makes googling even more addicting;-)
