Pediatrician reinforces: these are the 5 pieces of advice that were given 30 years ago and make no sense today

Pediatrician João Rio Martins identified five childcare practices that were common 30 or 40 years ago and that no longer make sense today due to new scientific evidence. Among them are: placing the baby to sleep on their stomach (currently the recommendation is on their back), using talcum powder during diaper changes (risk of inhalation), using baby walkers (they do not advance walking and increase the risk of accidents), using rigid footwear (preferring barefoot walking and flexible footwear) and giving water to babies before food introduction (unnecessary and potentially harmful). The doctor highlighted that the evolution of recommendations is due to the emergence of new studies and better understanding of risks and benefits, acknowledging that some current guidelines may also be revised in the future.
