Sudden infant death syndrome and early family interpersonal relationships. 1999

J S Lindsay

The medical profession are concerned with diseases or disorders, their diagnoses, and the appropriate treatment of their patients. The relevant processes involve interpersonal relationships in physical examinations, associated with the conventional social ritual courtesies. There are only two certainties--birth and death--with areas of probabilities and uncertainties in between. One such uncertainty is the sudden death of an infant in its first year. After the obstetrical birth processes, the specific health of the neonate involves the paediatrician. His skill and modern technical resources have enabled numbers of the prematurely born to survive. Has the modern neonate evolved over the centuries to have some needs that must be worked out between mother and her baby? To attribute hands-on experiences to genes takes away four holding hands from what they feel, the eyeball movements and what they see, the noses and what they smell, and the breast milk for the energy to move the muscles no longer in floating weightlessness.
