How can i do tummy time with and 8 month old on a vent with a trach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult his doctor: If the child is temprarily on the vent you can get trained to do other especial exercises administered by physiotherapist as tolerated till the baby is off the vent. If the baby is going to be long term on the vent then consult his primary doctor.
