Current Keys to Prevent Sudden Infant Death and Support Development in Babies"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest concerns for families in the early months of life is, undoubtedly, <strong>sudden infant death<\/strong>. The feared situation where the baby is sleeping and never wakes up again. <br\/><br\/>This is why, since 1994, following the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it has been advised that babies<strong> sleep on their backs<\/strong>. The impact was decisive: in just two years, the incidence of sudden death decreased by approximately 50%. <br\/><br\/>However, this recommendation brought about another phenomenon: an increase in<br\/><strong>cranial flattening<\/strong> and postural deformities. Thus, the big question arises: <br\/><br\/>Is it really dangerous to sleep on the stomach?<br\/>Or does it depend on the timing and conditions?<br\/>As pediatric physiotherapists, we need to understand the balance between <strong>safety during sleep and proper stimulation during wakefulness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What babies are at greater risk?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Age<br\/>The risk increases especially <strong>until 4 months<\/strong>.

The feared situation where the baby is sleeping and never wakes up again. This is why, since 1994, following the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it has been advised that babies sleep on their backs. The impact was decisive: in just two years, the incidence of sudden death decreased by approximately 50%. However, this recommendation brought about another phenomenon: an increase incranial flattening and postural deformities. Thus, the big question arises: Is it really dangerous to sleep on the stomach?Or does it depend on the timing and conditions?As pediatric physiotherapists, we need to understand the balance between safety during sleep and proper stimulation during wakefulness. What babies are at greater risk? 1\ufe0f\u20e3 AgeThe risk increases especially until 4 months. During this period, the respiratory system is immature, and the ability to exit deep sleep is limited. Sleeping on the back promotes a lighter sleep and facilitates waking up in the face of an adverse situation. 2\ufe0f\u20e3 Physiological FragilitySome babies are more vulnerable:\u25aa\ufe0f Premature babies\u25aa\ufe0f Babies with brainstem disorders\u25aa\ufe0f Cardiopathies \u25aa\ufe0f Genetic disorders\u25aa\ufe0f Ion channel problems (nerve conductivity) In the case [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":389,"featured_media":24063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/389"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24078"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24078\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24736,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24078\/revisions\/24736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tmpi-pimt.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
