TRENDING, BUT DANGEROUS: Why Babies Should NOT be Swung Upside Down!
A concerning trend on social media is encouraging parents to hang their baby’s upside down or swing them by their legs to soothe them or help them calm or sleep. Fun classes that include tumbling for older kids are now tending for infants and babies. However, all of these practices can be extremely dangerous for infants and babies. To ensure your baby's well-being, always rely on safe, evidence-based methods for soothing, bonding and playing. Try to avoid trendy unproven techniques. Consult a trusted source, like your pediatrician or an experienced pediatric therapist, for advice on safe developmental stimulation and calming strategies.
