Work of an Infant Welfare Centre
It's National Baby Week and infants in varied moods are wheeled into a welfare centre in Ealing for examination.
Overview
Babies in varied moods feature in this fundraising appeal film promoting infant welfare centres during National Baby Week. While the tots are subjected to a range of examinations, their mothers pick up tips on making baby clothes and other guidance to help produce "stronger children and a nobler race." Some of the scenes were shot in the Ealing Welfare Centre, Mattock Lane, London.
The National Baby Week activities also included a generous Ј200 prize for the Empire's Bonniest Baby, born of British parents, to be announced at the culmination of Imperial Baby Week at Wembley in July 1924.
