Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between maternal and infant mortality. Case histories of major obstetric complications leading directly to the death of both mother and child suggest that the same factors probably determined the levels of infant and maternal mortality. However, a comparison of secular trends in different countries and regions reveals that there were no close links between maternal and infant mortality rates. It also reveals that the predominant form of infant mortality in the West was post-neonatal mortality in the 19th century and neonatal in the 20th century.
