Container Baby Syndrome
(from
https://napacenter.org/container-baby-syndrome/#:~:text=What is Container Baby Syndrome,their environment on their own.)
“Simply put, container baby syndrome is when a baby spends most of their day within some sort of device, such as a car seat or stroller, that limits their freedom to move and explore their environment on their own.”
Includes: (parenthesis are me)
Car seats
Swings
Jumparoos
Bumbo chairs
Highchairs
Exersaucers
Walkers
Strollers
Vibrating chairs (strollers & car seats)
(baby carriers)
“……they run the risk of developing certain conditions:
Plagiocephaly: flattening of their head
Torticollis: tight neck muscles resulting in a neck tilt
Delay in motor milestone acquisition
Impacting development of hips and spine”
Sound familiar?
Is this happening to someone we discuss here?
I don’t do Facebook, but my daughter told me there is a therapist who works with CBS children who has a video on this topic posted.
