  <description><![CDATA[For the women who came centuries before now, having a baby was often dicey work. There were noxious potions to drink, zephyrs to credit with conception if one's husband was away from home, and some rather odd pregnancy tests. At least in 16th century Germany the whims of pregnant women were indulged: one plate in this charming, lavishly illustrated history tracing babies from antiquity to today shows a woman pelting her compliant husband with eggs. Once born, the babies created massive controversy. Breast or bottle? Limbs tightly swaddled or free? Daily baths or protective filth? It's amusing and humbling to see how often &quot;expert&quot; advice changes.]]></description>
