Synopsis
In this picture the infant is followed through his domestic day from the time of his waking at six o'clock in the morning until the final breast feeding at ten o'clock at night. His dressing, bathing, feeding, daytime naps, play, and general care are presented in concrete detail along with an interpretation of the significance of his various reactions. For the most part the picture is non-technical and well suited for viewing by groups interested in the training and care of the infant." Producer, quoted in Educational Film Catalog (1939)

Seemingly two films in one, the first part is, yes, just as the film describes, a look into a full day of a baby. Much feeding and sleeping is involved, much to everyone's surprise. After that part, the film then talks about how babies learn, both mentally and socially. It seems this appears to be another film, but they blend in quite nicely. The babies shown here don't seem all that exploited as most medical films of these type are. Just normal kids brought in from time to time it looks like.
