The timing of inverting a baby’s sleep surface involves considering the material composition and construction of the item. This practice primarily applies to dual-sided products, often featuring a firmer side intended for infants and a softer side for toddlers. The purpose of utilizing these distinct surfaces lies in providing appropriate support and safety for the developing musculoskeletal system of the child.
Implementing the change at the right developmental stage provides optimal support, potentially contributing to better sleep and spinal alignment. Historically, this feature arose from a need to extend the life of the product and accommodate a growing child’s changing comfort preferences and physical needs. Adherence to the manufacturer’s guidelines ensures safety and maximizes the lifespan of the product.
