Abstract
This article is concerned with the manner in which Gusii mothers define infant care -- their shared assumptions about the tasks and standards involved -- and examines the infant's interpersonal environment over the first 30 months of life. Age trends in the infant's social ecology are analyzed in relation to family characteristics and to developmental patterns measured by the Bayley Infant Scales (p. 143).
