Cover Story: No exploration of parenting in the 21st century would be complete without a look back at parenting practices, beliefs, and customs of the past. These practices are viewed through the lens of illustrations in literature on infant care printed in the United States from the early 20th century through the 1980s aimed at English language readers. During this period, as changing work and family structures removed traditional sources of information, parents increasingly turned to  scientific information and expert guidance. Parenting behaviors such as toilet training and infant feeding are traced over time through drawings and photos in parenting advice publications, with the conclusion that such parental advice was ideologically driven and often lacked a basis in empirical scientific knowledge of child development.
