Welcoming Baby - Hawkins House Tour

Welcoming Baby - Hawkins House Tour

The arrival of a new baby is a greatly anticipated event for many, and no less so for families of the Victorian era. Home births were still a common practice at the turn of the twentieth century, often aided by the local doctor or midwife. Come on this Hawkins House guided tour and learn about some of the ways expectant middle-class parents made preparations for their new arrival before, during, and after the birth. Also, discover how extended family and friends often took part in welcoming the new baby.
