To help give your children these precious gifts,

Perhaps you can afford to give all the things they need to three or four children—but perhaps not to six children, or eight, or ten. Birth control can help you to plan your family so that you can have the number of children that you want and have them at times when you and your husband are well and can take care of them.

Child spacing means: the mother has time enough between babies to get back her strength. Mothers can give all their children better care and attention when the babies do not come too close together. The baby born two or three years after the birth of his brother or sister will be stronger and healthier than the baby born only one year after the birth of his brother or sister. Every baby can be wanted and planned for, so that he will have a good start in life and a welcome from his parents.
