The Safe to Sleep campaign started in 1994, reducing the risk of sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS) by 40% to 60%. However, an undesirable consequence has been a 400 …

Cranial deformation is the most common cause of abnormal head shape. Intentional and
unintentional alterations of cranial form are associated with the application of external …

It is three decades since it was recommended that infants sleep on the back to reduce risk of
sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). The SUID prevention program is known as “back to …

Positional plagiocephaly is a deformation resulting from intrauterine constraint or postnatal
positioning leading to asymmetrical cranial growth. There has been a steady increase in …

Infant positional plagiocephaly, a cranial molding deformity expressed by asymmetrical
head shape, is on the rise. The increase correlates with the recommendation by the …

BACKGROUND: Since the early 90s a striking rise in deformational plagiocephaly (DP) has
been reported, and a causal link between the “back to sleep” position recommended to …

Once a relatively rare condition, the incidence of deformational plagiocephaly has increased
dramatically in recent years, partially as a result of the American Academy of Pediatrics' …

In 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended supine sleeping to
reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Although the incidence of deformational …

Background: Randomized controlled trials of treatment for deformational plagiocephaly and
brachycephaly have been lacking in the literature. Methods: Infants (n= 126) presenting to a …

Infant sleep position impacts the development of head shape. Changes in infant sleep
position, specifically the movement toward supine sleep, have led to a redefinition of normal …
