It looks at their ideas about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the use of enslaved wet nurses during a time when the country was trying to modernize. It also examines issues like miscarriage and childcare, showing how doctors\u2019 opinions influenced societal expectations of motherhood in Brazil. These views were important in shaping ideas about what a \u201cmodern\u201d nation should be, linking race and women&#8217;s health. By looking at newspapers and medical writings, the paper reveals how concerns about reproduction, health risks, and national defense came together to form policies that controlled the bodies of both white and black women. Ultimately, the paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how these issues influenced actions in reproductive health and national interests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Read the article on <a href=\"https:\/\/mh.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2024\/05\/20\/medhum-2023-012825\"><strong>the <em>Medical Humanities <\/em>journal website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3933\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3933\" style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3933\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2024\/06\/Maranhao-Tiago-Fernandes-Motherhood-Wet-Nursing-and-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-Brazilian-Medical-Perspectives-Photo-B.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cAn enslaved woman with a sleeping child on her back,\u201d Bahia, Brazil, 1869 circa.
