As in previous reports from the RISK study, there was a shift in the types of bacteria present in the ileum of children with newly diagnosed Crohn's disease.
AAP Car Seat Safety Guidelines: Rear-Facing Until Age 2. 1  Although the new baseline is now age two, the AAP has advised parents since 2002 to keep kids rear-facing until they reach the height or weight limit of their car seat.
A common question asked by parents is, How soon can I turn my child to face forward?. It is recommended to keep your child rear-facing as long as possible, at least until they are 2 years old and preferably up to maximum weight/height limits of their convertible carseat. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other Child Passenger Safety organizations endorse this philosophy.
