Abstract/Notes: This article draws on childcare advice to investigate the shift from breastfeeding by the clock to feeding on demand in twentieth-century Britain and Italy, to demonstrate that it was not just mothers’ bodies, nor what they fed their children, but their time that was subject to political, medical, and cultural attention. The comparative approach highlights the convergences and divergences in breastfeeding advice, illuminating the interactions with political and intellectual currents, as much as social and economic patterns. ‘Scientific motherhood’ and the promotion of feeding by the clock dominated in Britain and Italy at the beginning of the century, and persisted under fascist initiatives to regulate breastfeeding. Some existing differences, however, contained the seeds of greater divergence after 1945 in the two countries. Shaped by differing intersections of medical, psychoanalytic, and feminist thinking, the uneven shift to the concept of demand feeding slowly took root in Britain in the post-war period, but in Italy only in the context of 1968 counter-cultural ideas. The 1970s brought the conversation back to a point of convergence between Britain and Italy in the feminist recognition of the complexities of balancing the ‘rights and duties’ of mothers and children when it came to feeding babies.

Abstract/Notes: This contribution aims to reconstruct the network of national and international relations which contributed to the return of Maria Montessori to Italy in May 1947 and to the establishment of a Centro di Studi Pedagogici in order to create the conditions for a permanent residence of the scientist in her country. The reconstitution of the Opera Nazionale Montessori and the activities of its president Maria de Unterrichter Jervolino in collaboration with leading personalities of Italian political and cultural life and with the ‘historical’ students of Montessori are placed in this context. / Aquesta contribució pretén reconstruir la xarxa de relacions nacionals i internacionals que van contribuir al retorn de Maria Montessori a Itàlia el maig de 1947 i a la creació del Centro di Studi Pedagogici per tal de crear les condicions per a una residència permanent de la científica al seu país. La reconstitució de l’Opera Nazionale Montessori i les activitats de la seva presidenta Maria de Unterrichter Jervolino en col·laboració amb personalitats destacades de la vida política i cultural italiana i amb els estudiants ‘històrics’ de Montessori se situen en aquest context. / Esta contribución tiene como objetivo reconstruir la red de relaciones nacionales e internacionales que contribuyó al regreso de Maria Montessori a Italia en mayo de 1947 y al establecimiento del Centro di Studi Pedagogici con el fin de crear las condiciones para una residencia estable de la científica en su país.
