Victoria's baby health centres: a history 1917-1950: how did a statewide system of Baby Health Centres grow from the efforts of a small group of concerned women in 1917?Sheard, Heather January 2005 (has links)
Victoria’s first Baby Health Centre opened in June 1917 in the inner Melbourne suburb of Richmond. By 1950, 398 centres including fifteen mobile circuits, were available to mothers across Victoria. This study documents and analyses the combination of influences that underpinned the growth of Victoria’s Baby Health Centres. / Firstly, concern about infant mortality rates encouraged the growth of the international welfare movement. The international movement provided legitimacy for local concerns and motivated and sustained the women who acted locally. In addition, the changing role of women following the achievement of suffrage and the rise of voluntarism combined to establish a combination of professionalism and voluntarism which was socially acceptable for the women involved. Baby Health Centres were instigated through municipal councils by local groups such as the Country Womens Association, and with the centralized support of the Victorian Baby Health Centres Association and the Society for the Health of the Women and Children of Victoria. The development of two dedicated voluntary associations caused both friction and competition and a dynamic which created a model of service provision still in existence today. / Secondly, the study looks at the role of several individual women in the growth of Victoria’s centres and circuits. Both voluntary and professional workers made significant contributions to the development of a model of universal service provision for mothers and babies. / Thirdly, the study records the voices of eight mothers and two Infant Welfare sisters of the 1940s. Their comments and stories illuminate the relationship between baby health centre sisters and mothers and the mother’s willingness to incorporate the advice into daily practice. / The history of Victoria’s Baby Health Centres is one of a unique combination of professional and voluntary activism. This recipe led to the development of a well utilized statewide service which has become part of Victoria’s societal and health framework.

The social and political life of infants among the Baliem Valley Dani, Irian Jaya /Butt, Leslie. January 1997 (has links)
Among the Baliem valley Dani of the central highlands of Irian Jaya, Indonesia, infants play a prominent role in social relations. Infant mortality rates among the Dani are above two hundred and fifty deaths per thousand live births and birth rates are low. To these patterns of infant survival and growth the Dani consistently ascribe complex meaning. Drawing from anthropological research conducted in 1994--1995 in the Baliem valley, this dissertation demonstrates that indigenous meanings about the infant body and assessments of infant health link the infant to political relations within polygynous families, to antagonistic gender relations, and to affiliations with powerful ancestor spirits. Gender relations play a prominent role in explanations about infants. When an infant dies, parents explain the death in ways that reflect the lower social status of women in relation to men. A study of sex ratios during the first year of life and biased use of health services by gender of the infant suggest that the Dani may generate and validate cultural patterns of gender inequality during the earliest months of life. / Infants also play an important role in national politics. In Indonesia's attempts to assimilate indigenous peoples into the country's economic development agenda, the infant appears in health promotions as a member of a contrived ideal family. These national cultural models, grounded in a concern with population control, translate into an applied health agenda for infants that has little impact on the mortality rates of the very young in Dani society. / The infant, though mute, is a powerful figure at the center of many social and political relations. The richness of meaning attributed to infants in the Baliem valley suggests that further research is needed to correct lacunae in anthropological theory about one of life's key social figures.
