National Baby Week

February is National Wedding Month so it makes sense that the first week in February is National Baby Week. I've tried to do some on-line research about the origins of National Baby Week and so far I've only come up with some files from the early 20th century in England. Most were articles regarding encouraging families to adopt orphans from WWI. There were some Getty Images from 1923 of nurses with babies in prams and some announcements from 1917 and 1918 from organizing committees for National Baby Week. So far, I have not been able to locate any information on the observation of National Baby Week in the U.S. Nevertheless, it was fun researching and looking at cute pictures online of lots of scrunched up babies in various forms of swaddling.  Here's the one that I thought was the cutest of all the images I sorted through.
