In nineteenth century Australia, concern to reduce a high infant mortality rate prompted discussion of various alternatives in infant feeding practices. Breast feeding was encouraged, although problems inherent in the practice of wet nursing were highlighted. Warnings against adulterated milk and poorly prepared cereal food were frequent. At the end of the nineteenth century a consensus had been reached which paved the way for the development of the educative initiatives of the infant welfare movement of the twentieth century.
在19世纪的澳大利亚，由于担心高婴儿死亡率，人们开始讨论婴儿喂养方式的各种替代方案。母乳喂养受到鼓励，尽管奶妈喂养方式中存在的固有问题也被凸显出来。针对掺假牛奶和制作不佳的谷物食品的警告屡见不鲜。到19世纪末，人们达成了共识，为20世纪婴儿福利运动的教育举措的发展铺平了道路。
