This work, first published in 1894, became a standard guide for parents and medical professionals alike, and has had numerous editions since its initial release. Dr. Holt took a scientific and practical approach to child-rearing, which distinguished him during a time when empirical evidence in pediatrics was often overshadowed by tradition and anecdote. Born on March 4, 1855, in Rochester, New York, Holt obtained his medical degree from the University of Rochester in 1877. Following a distinguished academic and clinical career, he served as Professor of Diseases of Children at the New York Polyclinic Medical School and later at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons.
