Main goal - infants clothes, with side interest in beds and carriers.


The main site I started at - http://classes.bnf.fr/ema/index.htm

These are the pictures I particularly noticed. I also found a baby walker, just like the one The hours of Catherine of Cleves (M.917, p. 149) in my little book of the Pierpont Morgan Library, p.50, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN!!!! It's at http://classes.bnf.fr/ema/grands/124.htm It looks like it's used similarly to the way a block trolley would be used for a nearly walking child, rather than the way a modern baby walker would be used.

a playpen, a cradle, on the middle right, there's someone carrying a baby on their back

Another sling, a basket on a back a hanging, cot/cradle thing,

From http://www.briaca.com/art/children.html and http://www.briaca.com/art/infantcare.html

a sling

Here's a period solution to toilet training

From my google search - a knitted vest, mitten and sock set

This seems like a particularly good set of links - http://www.geocities.com/karen_larsdatter/children.htm but it's mostly older children.

There is this one of a swaddled baby . Yes, most babies are swaddled, but you can see a lot of babies who are only swaddled to just under their arms.

Hey there,
Sorry to lurk, but I've been following the thread on the Lochac list and I am finding this very interesting, mainly cos my bub's due in about 5 weeks.

I'd be interested to see how you go with this!
