Babies do not require flipping while they sleep. However, caregivers often turn babies or encourage movement during sleep for several reasons:
Preventing Flat Head Syndrome (Positional Plagiocephaly):
Constant pressure on one part of a baby's head can cause it to flatten. Changing a baby's position can help distribute pressure more evenly.
Avoiding Suffocation Risks:
Ensuring that babies are not sleeping face down can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends placing babies on their backs to sleep to reduce this risk.
Comfort:
Like adults, babies can become uncomfortable if they stay in one position for too long. Gently moving them can help them sleep more comfortably.
Promoting Motor Skills:
Encouraging different sleeping positions can help with a baby's motor development by allowing them to experience different ways of moving and balancing their body.
It's important to follow safe sleep guidelines, ensuring the baby is placed on their back to sleep on a firm, flat surface, without soft bedding, toys, or other items in the crib.
