Baby's Misshapen Head
After doing some research on the Internet, I've come to think my 3-
month old boy has plagiocephaly -- a mishapen head. It's subtle, but his right forehead protrudes more than the left, his ears are not lined up when viewed from above, and his head simply doesn't look symmetrical, especially when I look at him in a mirror. Most of the information I've come across advises against leaving him on his back for too long, not leaving him in a car seat, providing plenty of tummy time, altering his position in the crib, etc. But all the points of advice are things we're already doing. I belive his misshaped noggin is due to the fact that he had low amniotic fluid during the pregnancy. Which brings me to my question -- since we already routinely perform the suggested "remedies," are there any other alternatives besides head gear to try and bring his head to a "normal" shape? The thought of my precious baby wearing round-the-clock head gear for six months breaks my heart. |
