The brochure offers guidelines on the everyday care and handling of infants with low muscle tone, in order that positioning, carrying, and other daily activities can be done in ways that will enhance the development of the child and prevent abnormal postures and patterns of movement. Proper positioning in the prone, supine, side lying, and sitting positions can help prevent abnormal postures and give the infant the opportunity to strengthen different groups of muscles. Carrying involves providing adequate support for head and trunk. Other routine daily activities which provide opportunities to improve the child's strength and development occur during dressing, feeding, and bathing. (JDD)
