English

'Infant mortality' means the death of an infant before his/her first birthday. We are able to assume that infant mortality used to be one of the big problems considering the time, the 1850s when The Scarlet Letter was published.

Hence, 'infant immortality' indicates her daughter, Pearl as a figure of speech and the given sentence with 'infant immortality' means Hester, the mother could physically handle her daughter except for teaching her discipline, which seemed difficult for her.
