How to put a newborn in the crib

Head position

When the baby sleeps on his back, be sure to monitor the position of the baby’s head, occasionally turning it from side to side. This will help prevent possible unilateral deformities of the baby's skull. And if the baby crawls in the crib all night, to avoid unwanted movements, use special curved pillows.

Baby in a crib

Out of habit, the parents put the child in bed in the same direction, while making a mistake. As a result, the baby begins to look at the room, toys and parents, looking in the same direction.
The result is torticollis with flattening of one side. To prevent such a nuisance, change the position of the infant in the crib, thereby encouraging active and beneficial movements of the head.

Frequent holding a child in your arms

Try to reduce the amount of time the child spends lying down. It is difficult to carry him on your hands 24 hours, but give this contact as much time as possible. By holding the baby in your arms, you force his muscles to develop and strengthen.

Sleeping on stomach

Laying the baby on the stomach contributes to the proper formation of the back of his head, strengthening the neck muscles and the development of the back muscles. Looking at everything around, the baby will develop faster and, moreover, will more likely begin to crawl and sit down.

When it comes to a baby, you should always consult a pediatrician beforehand. After all, he observes the health of the baby, and only he can tell how to take care of your baby properly.
