I bet they weren’t worried about raw milk

Probably not, but only half of the newborns made it to age 15.

So malnutrition would be a factor I guess so why wouldn’t they have done this if they have other sustenance they could feed them

I'm sure that access to additional milk was a great boon to children back then.

Food safety improvements like pasteurization reduce crap like salmonella, tuberculosis, and food poisoning that we can all do without.

Even in 1950 one in four newborns died in childhood.
