Institutional care Before their final placement, 67 % of the children were cared for at infants' homes, where they were placed as a rule straight from the maternity clinic. As will be seen from Table 8, as many as 96 % of the children in Group I stayed at infants' homes, followed by 83 "/o in Group I11 but only 36 in Group 11. Nearly all the children stayed at infants' homes in the Stockholm area, where the standard in the mid-Fifties was relatively high. The staff ratio material care. Even so, nurses may have been changed frequently, the environment may have been too like that of a hospital and probably did not suffice to give the children a sufficient emotional stimulus.
