In this article we collected and commented on the passages referring to children's diseases and paediatrics in the notebooks of the well-known Dutch statesman and poet Constantijn Huygens. This remarkable source for the history of paediatrics describes the psychological and physical development of Huygen's five children and the diseases with which they were afflicted.
