Nurse plays with child and baby bottle, Berlin 1932

A nurse in a white cap plays and jokes with a small girl, holding a baby bottle as both laugh heartily. The footage belongs to a series on infant and child welfare in Berlin during the late Weimar Republic, when municipal advice centers and nursing staff helped mothers with feeding and caring for their children. Such welfare programs aimed to reduce infant mortality and were showcased as models of municipal social policy. The lighthearted everyday scene contrasts with the economic hardship affecting many Berlin families at the time.
