| Summary | "Remarks on the Subject of Lactation" by Edward Morton is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The book explores the health implications of breastfeeding, particularly focusing on the conditions of breast milk and its effects on both mothers and infants. Morton addresses the risks associated with prolonged lactation, arguing that it can lead to significant health issues, including inflammation of the brain and other serious diseases in children, especially when breastfeeding is continued past the optimal period. In this work, Morton presents a thorough examination of the properties of breast milk, explaining its changes over time and various factors that can deteriorate its quality, including maternal health and emotional state. He provides a series of case studies to illustrate the detrimental effects of prolonged breastfeeding, such as hydrocephalus and other ailments, linking these issues to both maternal practices and the inherent qualities of the milk produced. As a result, the book emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of lactation practices and encourages a more informed approach to breastfeeding in order to enhance the health and wellbeing of both mothers and their infants.
