Abstract
SYNOPSIS The investigation described in this paper considers the influence of social class and the infant's birth order on maternal care, and then, in the light of these findings, examines the association between quality of maternal care and infant development. The study population comprised 89% of all births during an 18-month period in a defined administrative area in Glamorganshire. Possible explanations for the findings are discussed.Keywords
