Infant motor development between 0-4 months: a new look at the effect of the ‘back to sleep’ program

回归睡眠计划的一个意想不到的后果是变形斜头症(DP)或“平头综合征”的发生率增加，并担心发育迟缓。目前还不清楚目前的建议是不是在婴儿醒着的时候给他们提供“肚子时间”的游戏，这是否是预防DP的最好方法。将对典型的0-4个月婴儿和患有糖尿病的婴儿的发育进行调查，并对父母进行调查，以此作为开发和试验新的糖尿病预防措施的基础。

An unexpected consequence of the Back to Sleep program is an increased incidence of deformational plagiocephaly (DP), or “flat head syndrome”, and concern about delayed development. It is not clear whether the current recommendation to provide ‘tummy-time’ play for infants when awake is the best way to prevent DP. Development of typical infants 0-4 months and infants with DP will be investigated and parents surveyed as a basis for development and trialling of a new DP prevention initiative.
