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.

Investing in quality early care and education will have a high return on investment for Louisiana. Research shows a return on investment (ROI) of up to 13%.

Many Louisiana families continue to lack access to affordable, quality early care and education.

Timeline photos
Do you have a friend, family member, client, or employee who could benefit from a full scholarship to send their child to an early learning center? Community Foundation of North Louisiana is here to help!
To see qualifications, go to: http://ow.ly/ASrI50HWZer

It is Early Education Month. Help us share the importance of quality early education for all children.
Sixty percent of Louisiana children begin kindergarten behind their peers and children who begin school behind generally remain behind. Significant investments are needed to increase and improve access to quality early care and education for Louisiana’s children to best prepare them for success in school and in life.
Learn more about the need to invest in quality early care and education experiences for our youngest Louisianans by visiting policyinstitutela.org.

An astounding 90 percent of human brain development happens between birth and age four!
The foundation of a child’s capacity to learn, grow and succeed is established before they reach kindergarten, which is why quality early care and education is of critical importance.
Learn more about how early care and education prepares young children for success in school and in life by visiting policyinstitutela.org.
