The Kurdistani Cradle Story

A Modern Analysis of This Centuries-Old Infant Swaddling Practice

Aaron Bloch

From the Department of Pediatrics, Ashkelon General Hospital, Ashkelon, Israel

Israeli immigrants from Iraq tie their infants into the Kurdistani cradle, a low wooden rocking bed, from birth until they are ready to walk. Movement is impossible. Is this a danger to children? What are the public health aspects of this custom?

A pediatrician tells the fascinating story of his search for an swers to these and related questions. It is a classic example of the impact of modern preventive medicine upon traditional child-rear ing customs.
