I have a little campaign "back to sleep, front to play" that I have been
pushing for a few years.  I turn baby on his/her tummy (to parents horror!
) and watch to see  baby raise his/her head.  I point out shoulder and neck
muscles to parents and explain why they need exercise.  Then I say if baby
falls asleep   while playing on tummy just turn them over for the nap and
show them  how to  turn baby over.  I know this sounds simplistic and you
wouldn't think parents need to  be taught, but so many parents now have an
utter fear of ever putting baby on tummy!  Remember the campaign is Back TO
SLEEP, not back forever!

Side note: Back to Sleep  isn't being followed in many day cares.  Beware!

Sorry, I can't figure how to tie this to BF :-) because it seems to be both
breast and bottle babies treated totally to back in  our area.   Sincerely,
Pat in SNJ
