Truby King - Later Years

Later Years

Sir Frederic Truby King died in Wellington on 10 February 1938. He was the first private citizen in New Zealand to be given a state funeral.

Twenty years later he was the first New Zealander to feature on a New Zealand postage stamp.

His babycare method continued in popularity, finding favour in post-war Britain at least until the 1950s.

It featured, controversially, in the 2007 Channel 4 documentary series, Bringing Up Baby, which compared it with the 1960s Benjamin Spock and the 1970s Continuum concept.
