Emory,J. Peabody, J. "Head position affects intracranial pressure in newborn infants." Journal of Pediatrics 1983

Cowan, F., and Thoresen, M. " Changes in superior sagittal sinus blood velocities due to postural alterations and pressure on the head of the newborn infant." Pediatrics 1985

"Evaluation and development of potentially better practices for the prevention of Brain Hemorrhage and Ischemic Brain Injury in VLBW infants" Pediatrics, April 2003.

Hope these help!!!
