Remove Rocker from Bag
and unfasten buckle.
Assembling the Rocker:
• Try tummy time two or three times a day, for short periods of time, until your
baby gets used to being on the tummy. Once your baby begins to enjoy this
position, try longer periods of time or increase the frequency of tummy time play.
• Try to minimize the amount of time your baby spends in car seats, carriers and
bouncy seats while awake.
• Lastly, make sure you enjoy lots of “cuddle time” with your baby by holding your
baby upright over your shoulder.
For additional information on positional plagiocephaly and the benefits of tummy
time play for your baby, speak with your pediatrician or family physician.

WARNING:
Failure to follow these warnings and the
instructions could result in serious injury
or death.
Pediatricians and child health organizations agree that healthy babies should be
placed on their backs to sleep for naps and at nighttime, to reduce the risk of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). But babies who are always on their backs
can sometimes develop flat spots on their head (plagiocephaly).
Most cases of positional plagiocephaly can be prevented (and sometimes
corrected) by repositioning your baby to relieve pressure on the back of the head.
Here are some tips and techniques from the experts to keep in mind as you care
for your baby:
• Change the location of your baby’s sleeper or crib in the room, so your baby has
to look in different directions to see the door, or the window, or interesting things
going on around your baby.
• When your baby is awake, provide opportunities for adult-supervised “tummy
time” play. Playing on his tummy helps take the pressure off the back of your
baby’s head, which will help prevent flat spots from developing. Tummy time play
also helps your baby’s head, neck and shoulder muscles get stronger as part of
normal development.
