Csecsemkorban

Csecsemkorban is a Hungarian term meaning “during infancy” and is used in medical, developmental, and epidemiological writing to indicate that something occurs or is relevant within the early life period. The word combines csecsemő (infant) with kor (age) and the locative suffix -ban to denote temporality. In most Hungarian sources, csecsemkorban refers to the period from birth through infancy, commonly the first year of life, though some texts extend infancy to include up to 24 months.

In usage, csecsemkorban appears as an adverbial phrase modifying verbs or clauses to indicate timing, for example: “A csecsemkorban jelentkező táplálkozási problémák gyakoriak,” meaning “Feeding problems that occur in infancy are common.” It is used across clinical pediatrics, nutrition, and developmental science to discuss prevalence, risk factors, milestones, or interventions appropriate for that age range.

Common topics addressed in csecsemkorban-focused literature include infant growth and development, feeding and sleep patterns, vaccination schedules, and the diagnosis of early-life conditions such as congenital anomalies or infections. The term helps readers quickly contextualize findings within the appropriate stage of life.
