Well I suppose y'all knew it was coming; but I wish to ask after the
specific meaning of brefos and paidion. What ages are denoted by these
terms (beyond the general 'infant' and 'youth'). Is there any source which
says something like "a brefos is a baby from birth to weaning; whilst a
paidion is a toddler from 2 and up to the teen years". (thats just an
example- to give some notion of what I am looking for).
Thanks and Happy Chanukkah to all
Jim
