I didn't count, but I, too, have seen a serious increase of problems of
various kinds since the Dutch varant of the back to sleep campaign and the
successive ''not ever in the parents' bed'' campaign.
Dear Friends:
This is very interesting.
I was thinking that GERD had increased before the 'Back to Sleep'
campaign, with the rise in epidural use and inductions.
We are all probably correct: all these factors that disturb the normal
process have some negative impact on babies.
Perhaps 'back to sleep' is only healthy when the mother is in bed with
the baby; if the baby is sleeping alone, perhaps 'back to sleep' has side
effects?
The only diagnosis that I know is connected to the 'back to sleep'
attitudes, where parents leave their babies supine all of the time, is
plagiocephaly, where the skull becomes misshapen and babies are put into shaping helmets.
