Abstract Objectives.—The aims of this study were to determine and compare fetal hemoglobin (HbF) fractions at birth in newborns exposed and not exposed to selected factors that have been reported to increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Previous studies have implicated HbF in the etiology of SIDS by finding higher fractions in infants dying from SIDS compared to age-matched control infants. Design.—We performed a cross-sectional study using high-performance liquid chromatography to measure HbF fractions in newborn cord blood samples. Exposure to selected risk factors for SI

This study of cultural beliefs and practices related to childrearing and child health among the Hmong in Melbourne, Australia, used in-depth interviews and participant observation of 27 Hmong mothers and some Hmong traditional healers between 1993 and 1998. Traditional Hmong beliefs and practices include: taking notice of the birth date and time, placing a silver necklace on the newborn, not praising the newborn, not taking the infant out during the first 30 days, breastfeeding, the infant's sharing a bed with the parents, and a soul-calling ceremony on the third day after birth.

In 1953, Virginia Apgar, M.D. published her proposal for a new method of evaluation of the newborn infant. The avowed purpose of this paper was to establish a simple and clear classification of newborn infants which can be used to compare the results of obstetric practices, types of maternal pain relief and the results of resuscitation. Having considered several objective signs pertaining to the condition of the infant at birth she selected five that could be evaluated and taught to the delivery room personnel without difficulty. These signs were heart rate, respiratory effort, reflex irritabi

Resumen
Since antiquity, cot death was explained as accidental suffocation, overlaying, or smothering. Parents were blamed for neglect or drunkenness, and a cage called arcuccio was invented around 1570 to protect the sleeping infant. Up to the 19th century, accidents were registered as natural causes of death. From 1830, accidental suffocation became unacceptable for physicians and legislators, and ‘natural’ explanations for the catastrophe were sought, with parents being consoled rather than blamed. Prone sleeping originated in the 1930s and from 1944 was associated with cot death. However, from the 1960s many authors recommended prone sleeping for infants, and many countries adopted the advice. A worldwide epidemic followed, peaking at 2% in England and Wales and 5% in New Zealand in the 1980s. Although epidemiological evidence was available by 1970, the first intervention was initiated in the Netherlands in 1989. Cot death disappeared almost entirely wherever prone sleeping was avoided. This strongly supports the assumption that prone sleeping has the greatest influence on the disorder, and that the epidemic resulted from wrong advice.

Resumen
The frequency of breech presentation at term is 3% among singletons. Greek physicians dreaded those births, as they frequently led to the death of mother, infant, or both. In Rome, surviving infants were named Agrippa (born with difficulty), and the goddess Postverta was revered for presiding over breech deliveries. To the antique procedures of embryotomy and hook for the dead infant, the Middle Ages added manoeuvres to turn and extract a living, albeit often traumatized infant. These manoeuvres were associated with asphyxia from cord prolapse or compression, fracture of legs, arms, or clavicles, cerebral haemorrhage, trauma to the cerebellum, tentorium, or pituitary stalk, and with torticollis and arm plexus palsy. The prototype of difficult birth, infants born feet-first were considered dangerous, and were neglected or killed in many cultures. Even after Caesarean section had lost most of its risk, conservative obstetricians still propagated vaginal delivery from breech presentation. Finally, at the beginning of the 21st century, large randomized trials and population-based studies proved that Caesarean delivery was safe for the mother and highly beneficial for the child, making vaginal delivery from breech presentation obsolete.

Resumen
In Germany, paediatrics evolved at the end of the 19th century in an atmosphere of social Darwinism and nationalism which paved the way towards elimination of handicapped infants. Killing handicapped children was organized in Hitler’s Chancellery from 1939, targeting infants with idiocy and mongolism, micro- or hydrocephaly, malformed limbs, head, or spine, and palsies. A system of reporting and rating such infants was established, leading to their admission to one of 30 ‘Special Children’s Departments’. There, sedatives were applied in a dose depressing respiration which led to a slow death disguised as natural. A hundred physicians were directly involved in killing, and many more including eminent paediatricians in reporting infants. After the war, court trials were initiated, but usually discontinued. Physicians involved in murdering children continued to teach and to conduct research on the victims’ brains. Their textbooks conveyed little compassion for the weak, malformed, and handicapped. There was widespread unwillingness to keep preterm infants alive. When from 1960 artificial ventilation of neonates became possible, opposition against it persisted. Despising the weak was an enduring legacy of Nazism that may have delayed the introduction of modern neonatology in Europe.

Resumen
Nearly 2% of all pregnancies nowadays are complicated by maternal pregestational or gestational diabetes. Long before diabetic fetopathy was acknowledged, macrosomia was dreaded by obstetricians because of the trauma risk and the need for mutilating operations. Diabetic fetopathy was described and maternal glucosuria quantified by Henrich Bennewitz in 1824. However, most authors ignored his findings and well into the 20th century, series of ‘giant babies’ were published without even mentioning diabetes mellitus. When insulin became available in 1923, maternal but not fetal mortality decreased. In 1952, Priscilla White classified six forms of maternal diabetes during pregnancy and reported an overall intrauterine, intrapartum, and neonatal death rate of 45%. But not all those infants died from macrosomia-associated traumatism and birth asphyxia: the main finding in the deceased infants was pulmonary hyaline membranes, demonstrated by Louis Gluck in 1973 to result from retarded surfactant maturation in diabetic fetuses.

This chapter describes the development of the infant in the third month of life. After being warned by her pediatrician that her son has a flat head from sleeping on his back, the author discusses the common newborn issues of plagiocephaly and torticollis, how these diagnoses became popular, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and how back sleeping might slow the development of motor milestones. She goes on to describe the development of infants’ motor skills like sitting, crawling, and walking, and the factors (including back sleeping) that might affect the timing of motor milestones. She concludes with a discussion of potential intervention strategies for babies with plagiocephaly.

Resumen
In many religions, body secretions have been regarded as impure or dangerous. Meconium, the pitch-like substance filling the gut at birth, was considered the embodiment of impurity and actively driven out from the newborn’s body. The custom was advantageous by breaking the taboo on colostrum consumption. Passing the meconium before birth was considered a bad omen. The claim that it indicated fetal death led to intense debates between the Parisian surgeons Viardel and Mauriceau. In 1798, Scheel described meconium aspiration into the airways, a severe disease still causing 1000 deaths annually in the US in 2008. Meconium ileus resulted from a hardened substance within the gut, linked to cystic fibrosis of the pancreas by Landsteiner in 1905. Meconium peritonitis, described by Morgagni in 1751, resulted when the dilated gut perforated during fetal life. A series of meconium occlusion and peritonitis were described in 1877 among infants admitted to the St. Petersburg Foundling Hospital. For centuries, ‘expelling’ the meconium was a postnatal routine with similarities to exorcism, freeing the child from evil.

Resumen
This chapter covers infections in neonates and young children. In this chapter the term ‘young children’ indicates children under two years of age. For information on congenital infections interested readers are referred to Chapter 37. Early neonatal infection is variably defined as infection presenting up to a week after birth, but most infections present in the first seventy-two hours. Microbial invasion of the chorio-amniotic membranes or uterine cavity occur in a significant proportion of pregnancies before rupture of membranes (&gt; 50% with preterm birth before thirty weeks gestation, 10% with term delivery), and in the majority of those with prolonged rupture of membranes (&gt; 24 hours). It is likely that the majority of cases of early sepsis arise through ascending infection of the uterus (through the cervical canal). Ascending infection may be important in the pathogenesis of preterm birth and is more common in infants born preterm. Group B Streptococci (GBS) (Streptococcus agalactiae) and Escherichia coli are the most common agents of early neonatal infection. Infection with Listeria monocytogenes probably arises following ingestion of contaminated food by the mother, blood stream infection, and transplacental spread. Early infection with GBS usually presents with respiratory distress and can be difficult to differentiate from respiratory distress associated with other causes, particularly prematurity. The incidence of GBS blood stream infection in England and Wales has been 0.3–0.45/ 1000 live births over the last five years. Maternal genital herpes simplex infection can spread to the newborn infant and cause a wide range of serious clinical presentations, with skin, systemic, and central nervous system involvement. Maternal infection with Neisseria gonorrhoea or Chlamydia trachomatis can also infect the infant. Either can cause conjunctivitis which can sometimes be of sufficient severity to cause substantial damage to the eyes. Gonococcal conjunctivitis usually presents in the first few days of life. Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (conjunctivitis or pneumonitis) tends to present later. Traditionally, penicillin and an aminoglycoside have been used to treat infants with suspected early sepsis (to cover GBS and Escherichia coli). Newborn infants are often empirically treated because it can be difficult to differentiate early bacterial sepsis from respiratory distress associated with prematurity, and death may ensue rapidly if the infection is not treated.

Resumen
This chapter describes the development of the fetus in the fifth month of pregnancy. After discovering that her fetus was inconveniently sleeping through an important ultrasound, the author discusses the science of infant sleep, why fetuses and newborns sleep so much, and the potential importance of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep for a fetus’s developing visual system. She then discusses at length various sleep-related issues relevant to infancy, including the controversial issues of co-sleeping (whether parents should do it and why), and an in-depth description of the research on sleep training and its potential short term and long terms effects on infants.

Resumen
Approximately 904,000 newborns die of breathing complications, or birth asphyxia, each year[1]. It is estimated that 30% of these deaths could be prevented[2]; however, healthcare workers in developing nations often lack the training, skills, or equipment necessary to properly resuscitate these infants. For this reason, child mortality is disproportionally clustered in low-resource locations in which the current standard of care is ineffective. The bag-valve mask resuscitator (or BVM) is the recommended treatment for a newborn who is not breathing properly.

Resumen
In Kenya, although 45 percent of maternal deaths occur within the first 24 hours after childbirth and 65 percent of maternal deaths occur during the first week postpartum, health-care providers continue to advise on a first check-up six weeks after childbirth. The early postpartum period is also critical to newborn survival, with 50–70 percent of life-threatening newborn illnesses occurring in the first week. Yet most strategies to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality have focused on pregnancy and birth. In addition to the heavy workload of providers who do not assess the moth
