Check out the Primal Health research data bank because there is so much research to show that birth practices are contributing._(http://www.birthworks.org/primalhealth/_ (http://www.birthworks.org/primalhealth/) ) Or foods, particularly the use of ABM or starting certain foods too early? There is also research showing that a diet full of fruits, vegetables, grains, and good protein resolves behavior problems in school-aged children. Or environmental contaminants? How can we survive in a world of chemicals that our bodies don't even have metabolic pathways to handle? Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is a good place to begin reading about this serious situation. Or parenting approaches? We know that a baby's brain is growing and developing significantly in the first few years and so anything that happens then could contribute.
