15 Relying Too Much On Baby Equipment
Dr. Joni Redlich, a board-certified clinical specialist and pediatric physical therapist, says she has seen “an increase in developmental delays, flat spots on heads, and torticollis (head tilts),” due to the overuse of baby equipment. Instead of transporting a child from a car seat to a swing to a bouncy seat, parents should allow children time “on the floor” or in an “old fashioned playpen.” If a parent does feel the need to utilize baby equipment, she advises, “save it for the time mom takes a shower or is making dinner.”
