Spinning Babies® 2021 Bibliography / General References helpful in discussion points for our approach.
Here is research complementing Spinning Babies.® (More coming) These studies support the approach though they were not research based on the approach. If more information is wanted on why or how safe it is that we do what we do, these studies give credence. Some of the conclusions are not in sync with our conclusions, but the data shows important information about our topics of discussion.
