Like lotions and MSG. There was a study done on baby lotions harming the reproductive system of the babies and they now recommend not using lotions on infants. Also, there is new research on plastic causing cancer. However, there have been people saying these things for a long time and the media labeled them as loony. <abbr><em>Emilys last blog post..<a href="http://www.marketingforwahm.com/Hosting-and-Internet-Marketing-Strategy.html" rel="nofollow">Hosting and Internet Marketing Strategy</a></abbr></em> Another reason for the rise in development issues is all the chemicals we are introducing to our bodies from birth.

I have come to believe that the "containers" we use which limit movement and sensory input as well as reduce social interaction, by removing babies from "face-to-face" time, may play a role in development of these disorders in some children. Combined with the overuse of "screen time" at very young ages, we are training our babies brains in ways that never have been happened before.

It is so sad, though, because I have seen the babies who go from container to container and are rarely held. FWIW I have no problem with the use of swings, bouncy seats, etc (although the car seat is heavy and bulky!!). I think they have their place, but they're not for hours and hours of use. And, in case you didn't know, holding your baby in a baby carrier counts for tummy time! It helps strengthen baby's neck muscles and doesn't put pressure on their heads. :) Alissas last blog post..<a href="http://sproutsoup.com/blog/wordless-wednesday-happy-5th-birthday/" rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday: Happy 5th Birthday</a> Wow, I’ve never heard it called Container Syndrome, either.

I have heard of this phenomenon for several years. I do know that I hate to see a mommy lugging around that huge carrier all the time. Baby just sort of bounces around in it. It seems that often it would just be easier to carry them, rather than tote an extra 10 pound contraption!
