Baby will want its clothes and its bed clothes changed oftener than you. Baby will suffer more from a dirty house than you. Baby must not be covered up too much in bed, nor too little. The same when it is up. And you must look after these things.
Mother is perhaps too busy to see whether baby is too much muffled up or too little.
Noises which would not frighten you, frighten baby. And many a sick baby has been killed in this way. Neither must it be under fed. Above all, never give it any unwholesome food, nor anything at all to make it sleep, unless the doctor orders it. I could tell you many true stories, which have all happened within my own knowledge, of mischief to babies from their nurses neglecting these things.
