Mortality risk in the first year of life is different according to climatological characteristics of the season's year. In this paper two periods are taken (1965-1971 and 1979-1985) with the purpose of analyzing seasonal variations in infant mortality and to determine seasonal differences between both periods and in each of them. This study may identify the existence of seasonality and the presence of overmortality in summer months. This seasonality is not similar in both periods because of the decrease in infant mortality rate and the changes in the cause of death structure. Author gives element to planning from a more realistic view evolution during the year of infant mortality rate in the country.
