Abstract:
Comparative data on infant caring practices among Bangladeshi and Welsh families in Cardiff, and among Maori and white families in New Zealand, reveal qualitative differences in the infant sensory environment. An anthropological perspective is adopted to place SIDS, lone infant sleeping and parent:infant co-sleeping in a broader cultural context.
