THE CAUSE OF PLAGIOCEPHALY

Infants often are placed in their own beds or cribs, where they are left alone for sleep. At very young age, due to physical immaturity, an infant is unable to roll over. In addition, an infant has weak muscles supporting head position, such that a very young or premature infant may only have only limited ability to change even his or her head position. Consequently, the position in which he is placed often will remain the infant's sleeping position until someone else repositions him. From birth to about nine months of age, an infant's head position and sleeping position can be outside his own control.

How to?

Taking care of your baby's nails is a must for his or her health and safety. It's recommended to start doing this at 6 weeks old. Even though the nails look like some kind of membrane at an early age, the baby can still scratch himself/herself easily with them. Cotton gloves can offer protection, until you can start cutting your baby's nails.

Natural Position

Experts recommend swaddling baby in a natural position with elbows, knees and hips flexed for proper joint development. When swaddling a newborn, many experts recommend swaddling with baby's hands within reach of mouth so baby can suck on his or her fingers to self-console.

You may also choose to wrap baby with one or both hands down inside the swaddle with baby's elbows in a flexed position. After breastfeeding is established, you may choose to offer baby a pacifier.

Although the exact timing of can vary from child to child, babies typically begin teething around 6 months of age. Usually the front bottom two teeth (lower central incisors) emerge first, accompanied by the front top two teeth (upper central incisors). Teething can be a painful and difficult process for both babies and parents, as infants may become especially fussy or cranky while their new teeth emerge.

Breastfeeding positions
