(3) Chelsea Mothercraft Home.—Chelsea Manor Street, S.W.3.
The Mothercraft Training Home provides accommodation for six
nursing mothers, with their babies, for the treatment of lactation difficulties,
and for three normal breast-fed infants whose mothers arc
employed as maids in the home. There is also accommodation for seven
or more premature and other babies, requiring special care and dieting.
In addition, there is an observation nursery to which four nursing mothers
may come during the day, with their babies, for test feeds and instruction.
The wards open on to a balcony and roof garden.
The Home is efficiently administered and the arrangements instituted
for the treatment of lactation cases have proved eminently satisfactory.
