Keeping baby in a container can also interfere w breastfeeding. Baby doesn't have the mobility to extend well to latch. He may not be able to open wide because he's been constrained.

Container Syndrome is a term used to describe the lack of skill in infants who are not allowed ample movement opportunities. Container Baby Syndrome is the result of an infant being placed in a container for an excessive amount of time during the day. This extended time leads to structural, movement, and behavioral challenges as a result.

Baby containers include baby equipment and items such as:

👣Restrictive playpens
👣Crib
👣Car seats
👣Strollers
👣Bumbo seats
👣Bouncy seats and swings
👣Rockers
👣Nursing cushions
👣Vibrating chairs
👣Jumpers
👣Exersaucers
👣Positioning pillows
👣Slings
👣Floor seats
👣Infant swings
👣Walkers
👣Jumpers

All of the time spent in these baby containers adds up! When in a positioning device such as the ones listed above, little ones are limited in the motor development that results from stretching, wiggling, turning, reaching, and otherwise moving.

1 to 2 in every 1,000 mothers will experience postpartum psychosis, yet most people have never been taught the signs.

Misdiagnosing this condition is dangerous. While postpartum depression causes severe sadness, hopelessness, and exhaustion, postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency. It involves a sudden break from reality, including hallucinations, delusions, and severe confusion.

One is an illness that requires ongoing therapy and medication; the other is an acute medical crisis that requires immediate, emergency hospital intervention. Misidentifying the signs delays life-saving care.

Knowing the difference isn’t just helpful, but can save a mother’s life.
