 Why is Tummy-time so important and is there a connection between that and SIDS?  

 SIDS is one of the most frightening things new parents think about, a constant worry. The "Back to Sleep" campaign has changed the way we keep our infants safe when they sleep.  

 My guest, Stephanie J. Pruitt will share her knowledge and expertise about SIDS, Tummy-time and why it's so important as well as how to create the safest sleep environment for your most precious possession, your baby!

She has over 10 years of experience in Pediatric Physical Therapy. Currently, she serves as Director of Pediatric Physical Therapy at Eagle Rehab, Inc. in Madison, Alabama. Noticing a trend in the field coupled with a the personal experience of plagiocephaly with her first son, Stephanie began to research the topics of SIDS, the Back to Sleep program and the rising incidence of diagnoses like torticollis, plagiocephaly, developmental delay and sensory processing disorder. She now teaches other health care professionals nationally on her research findings and serves to enhance the current treatment techniques in these areas.
