The Relationship of Infant Sleep and Play Positioning to Motor Milestone Achievement

Abstract: Results suggest that infant gross motor development may be related to sleep and play positioning. Information regarding infants' sleep and awake positioning may be important to occupational therapists when evaluating gross motor development. Implications for caregiver education and future research are proposed.

“…Multiple other analyses have also highlighted the influence of sleep position on infant motor performance. 19,58 DudekShriber and Zelazny 19 determined that the time spent in the prone position while awake (or in TT) was directly correlated to earlier achievement of milestones, whether they were prone milestones, supine milestones, or sitting milestones. Importantly, as in previous reports, 17,58 the authors called attention to infants who did not tolerate the prone position while awake and how it directed parents to discontinue the position.…”

“…Studies began to emerge on the effect of this new sleeping position on infant milestones. 17,19,36,41,58 The AAP's "Tummy Time" (TT) recommendation to parents was intended to decrease the likelihood of both skull deformation and lag in developmental skills. This called for placing infants on their stomachs while awake and overseen by the parent.…”

“…91,92 Parents can position their infant to encourage muscle development and motor control by placing the infant in prone and standing positions rather than in sitting and supine positions. 91,93 Active infant stimulation not only reduces the risk of obesity but also enhances brain development and builds muscle coordination.…”

“…Entretanto, pesquisas internacionais da área do desenvolvimento infantil alertam para o fato de que após as recomendações da posição de supino para dormir, muitos pais não têm deixado seus filhos deitados em prono, nem mesmo durante o dia, favorecendo um atraso no desenvolvimento motor destas crianças [5][6][7][8] . Ressalta-se que o desenvolvimento motor nos primeiros anos de vida é importante não apenas para o repertório de movimentação da criança, mas também porque influencia em aquisições nos demais domínios do desenvolvimento infantil, como o cognitivo e a linguagem 9,10 .…”

“…Ressalta-se que o desenvolvimento motor nos primeiros anos de vida é importante não apenas para o repertório de movimentação da criança, mas também porque influencia em aquisições nos demais domínios do desenvolvimento infantil, como o cognitivo e a linguagem 9,10 . Devido a esses estudos, surgiu a campanha internacional "Prone to Play", no ano de 2002, reforçando a orientação de que os lactentes durmam em supino, mas acrescendo a recomendação em colocar os lactentes em prono quando acordados durante o dia 2,[5][6] . Não foram encontrados registros dessa campanha na literatura brasileira.…”
