In order to estimate the effect of position on blood pressure measurements during the first year of life, pressures were recorded for 71 infants at one, three, six and twelve months of age in both the propped and lying positions. The position of the infant appeared to have little effect on mean values or upon the correlation of measurements over time. These results favor the use of a position for blood pressure measurement during infancy which places primary import ance upon the comfort of the child.
