How do you protect an infant's skull?

To protect an infant's skull, ensure that they are always placed on their back while sleeping to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and prevent flat head syndrome. Use soft, firm mattresses and avoid placing soft bedding, pillows, or toys in the crib. When handling the infant, support their head and neck to prevent strain, and be cautious during activities such as diaper changes or transitions from one position to another. Regular pediatric check-ups can help monitor head shape and development.
