Adorable babies for sure!

Hello Janet. If a baby has true positional scaphocephaly try to keep his or her visual attention at midline. Things like positioning yourself at your baby’s feet when diaper changing and singing to your baby. His ot her head may topple to the right or left but the idea is to keep it in the center for more time each day. Do not use head positioners and the like as they can be unsafe. Hope this is helpful.

Hello Kathryn. Extensive research with recommendations for supine sleeping at every sleep are from from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The latest guidance in June 2022 continues to recommend supine sleeping on a flat, firm surface as the safest position. 0 to 4 months being the most critical time. Place baby on her or his back for every sleep time. Around 4-8 months when the infant independently rolls themselves to their side or tummy it is okay to leave them in their new position, meaning the infant is placed on their back for every sleep and then rolls into another sleep position. Doing tummy time is a wonderful foundation for eventual rolling. publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/1/e2022057991/188305/Evidence-Base-for-2022-Updated-Recommendations-for?autologincheck=redirected?nfToken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 I hope this helps.

To be clearer in what I wrote above, doing tummy time, when awake and supervised only, is a good foundation for rolling.

Hello and congratulations on your baby! by about 10 weeks most babies can keep their head up in tummy time most of the time. hope that helps!

@@susanklemm5505 yes it did help thank you so much for responding 😊 ❤️ . We are just 5weeks today

Hello @lovelyPanda and congratulations on your baby! I’m not sure sure how you are getting him on his tummy. It often is a huge help if the baby is on his back, and then you slowly roll him to his side and then to his tummy. All the while you are on the floor with him making eye contact and gentle clucking or clicking noises or singing to him. Also try laying in your back with a pillow under your head and then put him in your chest. Keep giving it a try throughout the day in tiny little doses! There could be an in person tummy time class in your area which might be good. Oh and not to worry at this point about him not lifting his head. And yes, go back to your pediatrician if you have more concerns! Wishing you the best! Pathways.Org also has some great teaching videos!

@@susanklemm5505 Wow, I was not expecting a reply. Thanks so much for the extra tips! We will keep trying 😊

@@lovelypandamom you are most welcome. Enjoy this sweet time with him.

@@susanklemm5505 Hello! I wanted to give you an update. My baby is doing tummy time and lifting his head nicely! I'm so happy and glad we kept trying. Thank you so much for the video and advice 😊 Take care!

did your baby's head shape stay long?

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!

@lux bayb So glad your infant loves it! Thanks for leaving a comment and congratulations on your baby!

Congratulations on your babies!

Hello and thank you for watching. We use short tables with mats on them. The therapist or the parent always has a hand on the baby to prevent any falls!

Hello Ce Ce. I hear you! There are several underlying reasons why what used to be common knowledge and passed down from generation to generation has gone by the wayside and classes and information are needed. A major reason is the advertising, pressure, and marketing aimed at new parents to purchase and heavily use baby containers such as swings, bouncy seats, and other equipment which interrupts typical development and sets the scene for head shape issues. The issue is so widespread that there is now a condition termed "Container Baby Syndrome". There are other reasons, but this is a major one. We have seen this issue steadily increase over the last 15 years and everyday in our clinic we have parents that say "I wish I had known". Videos such as this are an effort to equip those parents who are interested and desire to know. I hope that helps explain why there is a need.

@@susanklemm5505 Thank you.

Hello and congratulations on your baby! Unless you pediatrician has recommended otherwise, please start tummy time as soon as possible. Just gently and slowly roll him over from his back to his tummy for a few minutes while you are with him and he is awake. Enjoy these special moments with him!

The babies are adorable! Thank you for watchng!

Thank you for watching and enjoying!

Hello Angeriiwater and congratulations on your baby! I"m glad she is a good eater. I agree about not torturing her! I'm so glad you are trying hard to do tummy time! It is really good for her development. Sometimes sidelying can be a step towards getting to sidelying. Also, when she first wakes up, don't take her out of her crib right away but instead gently and slowly roll her to her side. After a little time there, gently and slowly roll her to her tummy. Vary how you talk to her. If you are very exagerrated and tend to talk alot and give her lots of verbal encouragement, try being very quiet and let her experience her body moving without alot of verbal encouragement around her. I don't know you or your style or your daughter, so you will need to experiment. When you say she wants to be entertained . . . I'm not sure what you provide her during this time. If you fill me in, I"m happy to give my thoughts on ways to make this time engaging for her. That time after a baby first wakes up can be golden in terms of her learning and development (so much development happens during these early months). Remember that you are in charge, so if she is wanting to be entertained by sitting in her swing and looking at a video and you feel this is not good for her (it isn't), then you have the option of changing that routines. (Container Baby Syndrome). Save something she really loves looking at for when she is on her tummy. A mirror or your face is usually really desirable! I hope something in here helps! Keep chipping away at making tummy time enjoyable for her, you are on the right track! A few minutes throughout the day adds up.

Thank you Ildiko. I kept my hand on her!
