title: The unknown human infant.
abstract: What is physiological? It is often difficult to answer this kind of question in the field of human reproduction. That is why we propose to take, as a reference, a population of one hundred infants whose lifestyle is, in many respects, different from the standard Western norm. They were born at home without any drugs, share the mother's bed, were breastfed for more than a year, and so on. This study raises questions such as: --Is the neonatal loss of weight physiological? --What are the physiological sleep-wake patterns of the human infant? --Are the transitional phenomena normal stages of human development? --Why are some infants ill when their mother loses weight?
