abstract = {This paper focuses on initiatives to improve infant health, as they developed in
Norway especially during the interwar period. Falling birth rates were felt as a menace to the
survival of the nation and specific initiatives were taken to oppose it. But crises engendered
by the reduction in fertility strengthened opportunities for introducing policies to help the
fewer children born survive and grow up to become healthy citizens. Legislation supporting
mothers started in 1892 increased in the interwar years including economic features. Healthy
mother and baby stations and hygienic clinics, aimed at controlling births were developed
by voluntary organisations inspired from France and England respectively. A sterilization law
(1934) paralleled some German policies.},
