Positional plagiocephaly, or plagiocephaly without synostosis (PWS), can be associated with
supine sleeping position (OR: 2.5).113 It is most likely to result if the infant's head position is not varied when placed for
sleep, if the infant spends little or no time
in awake, supervised tummy time, and if the infant is not held in the upright position when not sleeping.113, — , 115 Children with developmental delay and / or neurologic injury have increased rates of PWS, although a causal relationship has not been demonstrated.113, 116, — , 119 In healthy normal children, the incidence of PWS decreases spontaneously from 20 % at 8 months to 3 % at 24 months of age.114 Although data to make specific recommendations as to how often and how long tummy time should be undertaken are lacking, supervised tummy time while the infant is awake is recommended on a daily basi

Supine sleeping position does not cause clinical aspiration
in neonates
in hospital newborn nurseries
Because of concerns about safety of the
supine sleep position for infants, this study was conducted to determine if infants
sleeping in the
supine position
in the first 6 months of life (peak risk period for SIDS) are at greater risk for specific non-SIDS adverse health consequences compared with those placed to
sleep prone.
A prospective study8 of a Tasmanian high - risk birth cohort of 6213 infants reported no increase
in cyanosis, pallor, or breathing symptoms at age 5 weeks for infants
sleeping in the
supine position, and,
in fact, the risk for these symptoms was increased among infants
sleeping in the prone position.
Indeed, infants whose reported
sleep position was consistently
supine or side through age 6 months had fewer reports of fever at 1 month and fewer reports of stuffy nose at 6 months than infants
sleeping in the prone position.
Background The incidence of sudden infant death syndrome has decreased
in the United States as the percentage of infants
sleeping prone has decreased, but persisting concerns about the safety of
supine sleeping likely contribute to prone
sleeping prevalence rates that remain higher than 10 %.
Furthermore, although we did not ask about position found on awakening, almost all infants placed
supine and prone for
sleep are found
in the same position when waking up.9
A third potential limitation is that any adverse consequence of
supine sleeping leading to a change
in sleep position after age 1 month would be missed
in these analyses restricted to infants maintaining the same
sleep position at ages 1 to 6 months.
SUDDEN INFANT death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden death of an infant, unexpected by history and unexplained by a thorough postmortem examination, including a complete autopsy, death scene investigation, andreview of the medical history.1 The decreased risk of SIDS associated with nonprone
sleep positions led to the recommendation in 1992 by the American Academy of Pediatrics that infants be placed to sleep on the side or back.2 In 1994, the national public education campaign «Back to Sleep» was launched, and the supine position is now recommended.3 Sudden infant death syndrome rates in the United States have decreased by about 40 % as prone prevalence has decreased from 70 % in 1992 to 17 % in 199

Because one of the barriers to the use of nonprone
sleep positions has been the belief that infants
sleep better prone, 4,5,7 it is noteworthy that
sleep problems were not more frequent
in infants
sleeping in the
supine position at any age and,
in fact, were significantly less frequent at 6 months.
Compared with infants
sleeping in the prone position, infants
sleeping in the
supine and side positions were not at increased risk for an outpatient visit for any reason (Table 4).
No identified symptom or illness was increased
in frequency among nonprone sleepers, and some symptoms and ear infections appear to be less common among infants
sleeping supine.
Results No symptoms or outpatient visits were significantly more common among infants
sleeping on the side or
supine than
in infants
sleeping prone, and 3 symptoms were less common: (1) fever at 1 month
in infants
sleeping in the
supine (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.56; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.34 - 0.93) and side positions (OR, 0.48; 95 % CI, 0.28 - 0.82); (2) stuffy nose at 6 months
in the
supine (OR, 0.74; 95 % CI, 0.61 - 0.89) and side positions (OR, 0.82; 95 % CI, 0.68 - 0.99); and (3) trouble
sleeping at 6 months
in the
supine (OR, 0.57; 95 % CI, 0.44 - 0.73) and side positions (OR, 0.69; 95 % CI, 0.53 - 0.89).
Infants continuing to
sleep in the
supine or side position at 3 months had fewer outpatient visits for ear infections, and this association persisted at 6 months forinfants
sleeping supine.
Furthermore, the findingsfor infants
sleeping in the side position tended to be intermediate between those of the prone and
supine sleepposition groups.
Our observations of reduced fever at 1 month and reduced stuffy nose at 6 months associated with nonprone
sleep positions are consistent with this hypothesis, as is the reported observation that adults with upper respiratory tract infections have lower nasal bacterial counts after lying
supine for 1 hour vs lying prone for 1 hour.11 Also, infants
sleeping supine swallow more frequently than infants
sleeping prone
in response to a pharyngeal fluid stimulus, suggesting more effective clearing of nasopharyngeal secretions
in the
supine position and, hence, less potential for eustachian tube obstruction and fewer ear infections.12
A secondary observation of a decrease
in reported ear infections associated with infants
sleeping in the side and
supine positions warrants further study.
However, 1 death reported as SIDS occurred at 8 months
in an infant who
slept in the
supine position at ages 1 to 6 months.
The incidence of sudden infant death syndrome has decreased
in the United States as the percentage of infants
sleeping prone has decreased, but persisting concerns about the safety of
supine sleeping likely contribute to prone
sleeping prevalence rates that remain higher than 10 %.
Also, outpatient visits for ear infections were less common at 3 and 6 months
in infants
sleeping in the
supine position (OR, 0.64; 95 % CI, 0.46 - 0.88; and OR, 0.73; 95 % CI, 0.58 - 0.92, respectively) and at 3 months
in the side position (OR, 0.68; 95 % CI, 0.49 - 0.96).
The average risk is
in the first 3 months and is 5.1 (2.3 to 11.4) times greater than if the baby is put to
sleep supine on a cot
in the parents» room (table 3).

«Infants should be
sleeping in the
supine position on their backs,» Salm Ward said.
However, that being said - I do believe there is something quite true about the research on incline (or simply NOT being
supine to
sleep) and the fact that babies are not
in stationary
supine positions while developing inutero.
It's about having babies
sleep on their backs (
supine) earlier
in their NICU stay, for SIDS prevention after discharge.

Rates have declined more than 50 percent
in the U.S. thanks to parents being advised to put
sleeping infants
in the
supine position or on their backs, but rates are still disproportionately higher for non-Hispanic black and American Indian / Alaska Native infants, the CDC stated.
Because nursery nurses place newborns on their sides due to fear of aspiration, it is important to know if newborns aspirate when they
sleep in the
supine position.
Although improving the methods used to convey the importance of the
supine sleep position remains paramount, use of a fan
in the room of a
sleeping infant may be an easily available means of further reducing SIDS risk that can be readily accepted by care providers from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds.
A study of infants
in England indicated that supine sleeping is not associated with an increase in significant morbidity outcomes, and the risk of respiratory problems was reduced compared with that of prone sleepers.17 In Asian countries, aspiration is not a problem despite the traditional practice of placing newborns to sleep in the supine position.18 The review by Malloy19 of US vital statistics mortality files for the years 1991 to 1996 showed no significant increase in the proportion of postneonatal mortality rate associated with aspiration, asphyxia, or respiratory failur

Despite a 56 % decrease
in the national incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from 1.2 deaths per 1000 live births
in 19921 to 0.53 death per 1000 live births
in 2003,2 SIDS continues to be the leading cause of postneonatal mortality
in the United States.3 The decreased rate of SIDS is largely attributed to the increased use of the
supine sleep position after the introduction of the «Back to Sleep» campaign in 1994.4 - 7 More recently, it has been suggested that the decrease in the SIDS rate has leveled off coincident with a plateau in the uptake of the supine sleep position.8 Although caretakers should continue to be encouraged to place infants on their backs to sleep, other potentially modifiable risk factors in the sleep environment should be examined to promote further decline in the rate of

Fewer than 4 % of newborns spit up while
sleeping in the
supine position
in the first 24 hours of life, and none required significant intervention or experienced serious sequelae.
Despite the simplicity and effectiveness of the
supine sleep position
in lowering SIDS risk, 24.4 % of care providers do not regularly place infants on their backs to
sleep.22 Use of the prone
sleep position remains highest
in care providers who are young, black, or of low income or who have low educational attainment.
When prone vs.
supine sleep was first studied
in the 70s and 80s, when lots of babies were
sleeping prone, the ORs for SIDS and prone
sleep weren't really that high (though significant).
