What was pan birth and infancy?

Pan birth and infancy refers to a cultural phenomenon observed in various societies where childbirth and early child-rearing practices are communal and involve multiple caregivers, rather than just the biological parents. This approach emphasizes shared responsibilities and support systems, fostering strong community bonds and collective nurturing. Such practices can enhance the emotional and social development of infants, as they are exposed to diverse interactions and caregiving styles. The concept contrasts with more individualistic approaches to parenting common in many modern societies.
