Abstract

[Purpose] In the photography of new-borns, there is an epidemic trend in the posing of 0-14-day-old neonates that induces ethical and competence issues. The aim of this study is to map the key concepts underpinning the contraindications of this type of passive positioning of the new-borns. [Methods] During the search for literature, the following keywords were used in the PubMed database: neonates; new-born; neck position; hyperextension; rotation; atlanto-occipital joint; sudden infant death; prone sleeping position; white noise; and pain perception. [Results] The white noise applied has been described as a pain perception modulator and an alternative pain reducing method in new-born care. There is evidence warning of the potential danger of passively produced cervical spine positions, considering the primary unstable atlanto-occipital joint during early infancy, the possible compression on vertebral arteries, and the intradural diameter decreasing the effect of extension. These factors may have an impact on healthy motor and cognitive development. [Conclusion] This perspective suggests that a wider debate should be called for concerning the role of medical professions to control this very dangerous practice, and that future cohort studies are necessary to monitor and follow up on the potential negative effects of this current trend.
