2. To instruct the mothers, and especially young mothers with
first children or twins, in the feeding and proper care of their
babies.
3. To pay revisits and to carefully watch over the child's health
and progress and to take the necessary steps by advice or by
reference to medical or philanthropic agencies to safeguard the
child's prospects and the mother's nourishment and circumstances.
4. To improve the home conditions of the mothers domestically
by help, advice and suggestion, hygienically by referring defects of
structure or environment to the Public Health Department.
For these purposes, the Borough has been divided into two
districts mapped out as containing those streets in which infant
deaths have chiefly occurred in recent years.
One district is assigned to each Lady Health Visitor and in the
streets so defined, every household in which a birth occurs is
visited on or about the eleventh day after the birth if the mother is
up, or earlier on request, or if there is reason to believe that the
mother is unattended by doctor, midwife, or nurse.
The districts are as follows :—
