Alternating Head Position Question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was looking at the AAP document in the files as well as the CAPPSKIDS plagio

prevention

document and I have a question about alternating an infants (especially a very

young one)

head position during sleep. The AAP document says to alternate left and right

occiputs

each night while the CAPPSKIDS document says to do left, back, right (i.e 3

positions). I

wonder if the CAPPSKIDS one might be the better recommendation to avoid an " odd "

shaped head that is symmetrical but long in a narrow sense right at the back

(hope this

makes sense) if the flat on the back head position is never used. Just wondering

what

others thought about this.

Thanks,
