This report, developed with support from the Bernard van Leer Foundation, explores the complex mobility needs of babies and toddlers (0-5 years old), as well as their caregivers, to help relevant stakeholders improve access and planning.
Cities can function better for babies, toddlers, and their caregivers by increasing access to the specific needs and destinations they require through the integration of land use and transport strategies that holistically improve the built environment.
This report provides key recommendations for decision-makers from civil society, subnational authorities, donor organizations, and national governments to start taking action on improving the well-being and development of babies, toddlers, and their caregivers.
Children under three comprise a sizable and growing proportion of foster care placements. Very young children who enter the child welfare system experience disruptions of critical attachments that are essential to this formative stage of brain development, as well as other traumatic events, leaving them at great risk for lifelong impairments. To reverse these concerning outcomes, babies who have been removed from their homes require intensive, relationship-based interventions that promote secure attachment to a primary caregiver and holistic attention the child's developmental needs. Child welfare decision-makers must be informed of infant brain development and knowledgeable about the particular needs and circumstances of each child. This article describes a model with these features that has been developed and tested in the Bronx, New York, one of the nation's poorest urban counties with high rates of foster care. The Project utilizes evidence-based Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) as its core intervention, and emphasizes collaboration and information sharing- driven by the CPP clinician- with judges, child welfare workers, attorneys and other social service and mental health providers, thereby encouraging developmentally and relationally informed case planning and permanency decisions. The model is evaluated using pre and post treatment psychosocial measures and program outcome data. Results indicate improvement in parenting interactions, positive child welfare outcomes (including increased rates of reunification, fewer returns to foster care), and improved safety and wellbeing. Results highlight the need for child welfare practices to be more closely aligned with the current science of infant brain development, and to incorporate a specialized approach to address the unique needs of infants.
There may be no pattern at first. Babies wake up to eat and then fall back asleep. But after a couple weeks, babies will be able to stay awake longer, and then sleep for a longer time. A more regular sleep schedule comes with brain and nervous system growth and being able to go longer between feedings.
Every baby is different. But by age 3 to 4 months, many babies sleep at least five hours at a time. Babies this age should be sleeping around 12 to 16 hours a day including naps. And at some point during a baby's first year, babies will start sleeping for about 10 hours each night.
Put your baby to bed drowsy, but awake. When you see signs of tiredness, such as when babies rub their eyes, head to the bedroom. Putting drowsy babies in bed helps link it with the process of falling asleep.
Some babies fall asleep faster when they are swaddled. Swaddling a baby means wrapping them in a blanket or a swaddling sleep sack. If you swaddle your baby, make sure it isn't too tight. Babies need to be able to bend their legs.
Getting your baby to sleep through the night is a skill. It is one both caregivers and baby are learning. Take time to understand your baby's habits and ways of communicating. That will help you guide your baby toward becoming a better sleeper.
Then one by one, each of those things drops off of your daily (or hourly) to do list. Kids start sleeping better, eventually. They potty train, eventually. They stop napping. They get themselves dressed. They move into booster seats.
Now we are surrounded by family members and we have support.
I enjoy my daughter and every day is a blessing. She is now 18m old and yes, it does get easier. BUT having support probably literally saved my life. I feel like I saved my daughter too somehow because she is better cared now and her mum is finally ALIVE.
Sickness and discomfort can make it more difficult for babies to fall asleep and stay asleep, even those who are normally great little sleepers. If your baby is struggling with sleep while sick, you may need to give them a little extra help. This could mean rubbing their back, picking them up, or even feeding/rocking them to sleep.
Expert Tip: Yes, these interventions may be needed even for those who are normally independent sleepers. Do not let this added sleep support stress you! Your great little sleeper will return once they are feeling better!
I don't recommend it. But hear me: I understand why you want to be so close to your sick child. You want to listen to every breath and be as responsive as possible to every need. I understand that, but keep in mind that we all sleep better in our own beds. This is true for little ones too. So, instead of disrupting your child's comfortable, familiar, and safe sleeping space by bringing them into your room, go into their room. Take a mattress and sleep on the floor next to their crib or bed. This will help them sleep better during the illness, yet fulfill your heart's desire to watch their every move.
Parents often ask if they should allow their congested babies to sleep in an elevated position to help them breathe better. This is NOT recommended. I know that this may be helpful for adults, but it's simply not safe for babies. Swings, car seats (outside of the car), strollers, and sleep positioners are never intended for unsupervised sleep. Elevating the head of the crib is also NOT recommended. All of these practices can put babies in a compromised position making it more difficult to breathe.
For babies or toddlers over 3 months, it is safe to allow sleep, even with a fever. I do recommend checking on your baby or toddler every hour or so when napping and every couple of hours throughout the night to see if they're sleeping comfortably and breathing normally. If you have concerns about your baby sleeping with a fever or irregular/fast breathing, be sure to speak with your pediatrician.
Our goal is to reframe the narrative from individual parent responsibility to our shared responsibility to build coordinated and equitable social conditions. Together, we can create a better today and a brighter future for all children, starting from their earliest years.
We know that young children thrive best when surrounded by responsive and caring adults. Safe Babies works to reduce the overbearing load of stress for families. Through our work, we help professionals understand the weight of economic, social and health hardships, domestic violence, and mental health disorders have on families and how that can affect the early relationship parents develop with their babies and toddlers.
Better babies contests were competitions held in state fairsthroughout the US during the early twentieth century in which babiesbetween the ages of 6 and 48 months were judged for their health. In1908, social activist Mary de Garmo established and held the firstbetter babies contest at the Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport,Louisiana. The contests, mirroring theories established in the US'seugenics movement of the twentieth century, aimed to establishstandards for judging infant health. Nurses and physicians judgedinfants participating in the contest on mental health, physicalhealth, and physical appearance. In 1913, the Woman's Home Companion(WHC) magazine cosponsored de Garmo's better babies contests andintroduced the competition to state fairs throughout the US. Betterbabies contests helped promote routine health assessments of childrenby medical professionals.
During the late nineteenth century, peoplein the US began promoting eugenics. Proponents of the movement focusedon creating a better populace composed of individuals with traits thatthey desired, like high intelligence, and without deformities.Supporters of the eugenics movement endorsed programs that claimed toimprove, traits that can be passed down from parent to offspring,aiming to amplify the number of individuals with those traits andtherefore advance US society. Supporters said that creating a moreefficient and able-bodied society would improve the state of thecountry.
Social policies of the century included policies thatattempted to decrease infant mortality rates and to improve adolescenthealth through baby saving campaigns. Supporters of the campaignsdemanded public and government action in preventing the death ofchildren. Those campaigns also promoted laws that required betterhousing conditions for the public and advocated for more governmentoversight over child upbringing. Organizations like the Congress ofMothers, headquartered in Washington, DC, argued that promoting betterhealth of infants would help them to grow into better adults.
Buildingon the foundation of the eugenics movement of the twentieth century,Mary de Garmo, a former schoolteacher, created better babies contestsin Louisiana in 1908. De Garmo participated in civic engagement in thestate of Louisiana throughout the late nineteenth century and earlytwentieth century. In 1890, she organized the Mothers Union inShreveport, Louisiana. The organization aimed to improve child welfareby helping mothers in the area to collaborate with each other andoffered those mothers tips for raising healthy children. De Garmolater became president of Louisiana's chapter of the National Congressof Mothers. Later called the National Parent-Teachers Association, theNational Congress of Mothers brought together mothers, educators, andlegislators to create legislation and programs to improve theeducation of children in the US.
