What is the best thing to feed a baby? What kinds of foods are safe for them? And how does this reflect adult attitudes towards food? This week we're tracing the history of feeding children, from breastfeeding and wetnurses, to canned preserved foods, we look at what people have fed their babies and themselves. We discuss how industrialization pushed people away from breastfeeding and towards commercially available food for both babies and adults, and why it's still with us today!
