This article proposes to integrate and contribute to compose the epistemological and methodological field denominated " Baby Studies " in the social and human sciences. From bibliographical research, contributions of History, Medicine, Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Anthropology, Sociology, Pedagogy, Philosophy and Geography were identified for the field under construction. It is argued that the idea of ​​the child, understood as a conceptual figure that supports the studies of childhood, does not include babies. The results of research indicate productions and debates that can contribute to forming a territory in which babies are present and central. From the lines drawn and from an approach with a poststructural perspective, a proposal of epistemological understanding of the figure Baby is presented. It is pointed out, as promising approaches for Baby Studies, methodological perspectives under construction, based on cartography and on route maps , in so far as it could allow researchers to follow the miniscule, even minimums, gestures and events that compose lives of babies, contributing to a better understanding of babies from their perspective
