Abstract
THE AGE OF INFANTS CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL THR ESHOLD FOR THE PEDIATRIC DOCTOR AND FOR THE PARENTS. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL IMMATURITY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM CREATES A PARTICULAR PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPECTIVE PERIOD. THEREFORE, VERY EASY, CERTAIN CHA NGES IN THE INTESTINAL TRANSIT COMPARED TO THE VERSION CONSIDERED "NORMAL" BY THE FAMILY. THE STUDY, CONDUCTED OVER A 6 -MONTH PERIOD, SHOWS THAT BOTH UNDERESTIMATION AND OVER-APPRECIATION OF THOSE REPORTED BY THE PARENT COULD BE JUST AS HARMFUL, THE ONLY ONE CAPABLE OF PLACING THE CHILD IN A PATHOLOGY OR PHYSIOLOG Y CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AGE BEING THE PEDIATRIC DOCTOR.
