- There's one really simple thing you should be doing with your newborn from day 1, that sadly gets overlooked quite often.
Doing this daily can help reduce the risk of your baby developing a range of problems such as positional plagiocephaly and torticollis. Often by the time these conditions become noticeable, they already require intervention to resolve, so it's obviously a much better outcome if you can avoid them altogether.
While positional plagiocephaly and positional torticollis can't always be avoided, there are things you can do to help reduce the likelihood of them becoming an issue. Implementing the steps in this video is one way you can do that.
I hope this helps!

Hello, is it too late to shape my baby's head without doctors intervention? She is 12weeka old, and her head is asymmetrical as a result of sleep on one side?
Thank you for your videos, I am from Zimbabwe...May you kindly do a video on the difference between startle reflux and infantile spasms. .I'm worried #firsttimemom
Hello. Can I give my baby pacifier? He is 2months old and am doing exclusive breastfeeding
I never got told about this from my baby's pediatrician. However, I started noticing a couple of weeks ago that she favored turning her head to the left, hardly ever turned it to the right, and when she did turn it to the right she would only go so far and then just continue trying to follow objects in that direction with just her eyes, SO I did a lot of research myself rather than immediately taking her to her pediatrician and learned that she could possibly have or be developing Torticollis. After doing all the research and watching several different videos I learned how to properly start moving her head to both sides myself and with the use of objects that got her to want to move her head, and stretching the side she didnt want to turn to. I do believe I caught the issue before it became too severe and I needed a doctor involved because she will now easily turn her head both directions, and I will continually make her switch sides when I'm holding her, breastfeeding, playing with her, or she's laying down so that the issue doesn't arise again nor get worse. She's only 2 months, so I got lucky to catch it myself in time.
I'm glad our hospital gave us papers about this! I would of never knew.
Our four month old has both of those conditions. We noticed from day 1 that he loved his right side. We tried to keep turning is head towards the left but he kept looking the other way and sleeping the other way. Took him to the chiropractor a handful of times and it helped. Tried to put his toys the other side but rarely helped. Did a lot of tummy time and other things recommended from you other videos. His doctor didn’t seem concerned at 2 and 4 months. Switched doctors and the new doctor was concerned and now we have to get evaluated for a helmet. 😢 it is slowly getting better as he gets stronger. Wished we would have switched doctors sooner. Our gut was telling us we needed professional intervention. :( thank you for your videos! Always such a pleasure to watch. We learn so much.
My daughter didn’t want to move her head to the left side until she was like 3 1/2 months old now she does perfectly fine for some reason
My son was breech and because of the way he was positioned in my belly he didn't have torticollis quite yet but they said if we didn't move his around from side to side he would end up with it. So we were able to avoid the torticollis but his head shape was already off a little bit because of his positioning in my belly, so now at 5 months old he will be getting sized for the band/helmet to help with his heads shape. So I couldn't agree with this video more! Make sure you're keeping your baby looking both ways! It's so important. I know in some cases (like mine) it's unavoidable no matter what you do but still change the direction they're looking so the get torticollis too! I'm so thankful he didn't end up with torticollis as well!
Our little one was in the NICU and from sitting in the crib a lot of the day developed a slight torticollis and had flattening on sides of the head. Play with them on their back and sort of hold they head center, and it really does slowly go away. We also found using a swing/car seat to sit him during awake times was helpful since they had those cushions that kept his head more center.
Wish I knew this sooner. Fortunately I went to my osteopathe 2 months after my son’s birth and could correct his torticoli as well as a plagiocephaly quite quickly. But man, it as heartbreaking to know that I did nothing for 2 months. This should be said by professionals right after birth as prevention. I turned his head at each nap, but he turned it very often during the same nap. It was very draining.
Yep, we weren't told this by the doctors but read it in parenting resources. They can't tell you everything and there are interventions if it occurs, but easy enough to prevent if you're aware of it
Yes! It should be in the little care packet they give you when you're leaving the hospital. I mean really, with all of the knowledge of flat spots due to the "back to sleep" program, there really should be more of a discussion on how to go about preventing it!!
Are you able to correct plagiocephly after 2 months?
My wife and I took our little girl to a newborn chiropractor to assist her on muscle tightness in the neck because she loved sleeping on one side and struggled when we tried to move her head. This approach also helped with breastfeeding.
Oof. I got a bit scared by the title of this video, but, luckily, in this case we asked our pediatrician early on why our baby keeps turning their head in just one direction and so we managed to tackle the problem before it became serious. We weren't doing the routine from day one, but we managed to address it in time. Next time, we'll know.
But you gave nice tips in this video that we can use. All your videos are super useful, so thank you for them!
Hey Emma, both of these is what my oldest boy developed and I mentioned in another one of your videos when I commented. Like I mentioned there both his doctor and both my husband and I noticed it when he started severely favoring one side during play but we were able to get it rectified and the flat spot on his head (and the bald spot it caused) was able to correct itself with intervention.
Thank you for posting this, because even though we know what to do now, I’m always open to more tips and other people learning what to look out for
It's great that you were able to identify this so early with your eldest. And so good that you are able to pass on your experience to other parents.
This happened with my oldest son as well!
This happened with my oldest son as well!
What intervention did you uses? My baby has developed a flat spot. Trying my best to have her turn the other side
@@lufthanza101for us, he went to PT once, they showed us what kind of stretches to do with him, and we did them at every diaper change (just to remember). This corrected the problem
You're so helpful, I wish I had seen this video sooner. My child would always wake up when I turned his head to the other side. At 6 months we were referred to a specialist and we were allowed 1 week of daily massages for free. The torticollis persisted and we've been doing PT for 6 months once a week. I've been massaging him every day. He started walking 2 weeks ago and the hope is that it would be fine soon. ❤
It's so good that you were able to access PT for your little one. And so exciting that he has started walking!
Hi there. Did u ever get a helmet? How is your childs head now?
@@lovebug8482 Hi, he has a Little bit of a flat spot on the right side. His neck is the issue.
My baby seemed to be born with torticollis. She didn't get much in flat spots and it was much later. It's hard to move the neck to the other side when it's painful for them. The nurse at the CLSC a week after she was born told me she had this. Went to an Osteopath, Chiropractor and Physiotherapist who specialized in working with babies.
Edit: also wanted to say, once she started to sit up more and then crawl the flat spot slowly went away.
Some babies are born with it, as it is due to the position they were in while they were in the womb. For these kids it's important to get help from an allied health professional straight away. Usually, it is something the doctors will check in the hospital prior to being discharged home.
Very important video. Hope more parents see it ❤️
Absolutely, my newborn daughter. I'm glad to see this turning her head now.
Hi Emma! Watching your videos from India! These have been extremely helpful not only in raising my seven month old but also since the beginning of my pregnancy journey. Keep encouraging!
Thanks so much!
Yes I've been watching four the past few months too, shortly after birth. Very good videos thanks Emma
Me at first getting worried as this video plays.
My very active two weeks old: moving her head both ways on my chest as I burp her 😅
Ty for this! Praying my baby don’t have any of those
Hi Emma! My 3.5 month old has bilateral clubbed feet which has made tummy time on the floor challenging with casting & now boots & bar wear for 23/7 for the next 3 months. Even though she doesn’t love being on her tummy on the floor, she does like being held upright so she can look around. She has good head and neck control in that position. It’s just tough to try alternate tummy time positions with the boots and bar on her feet when it comes to laying her on our chests or on our laps. I think she’s doing well. I’m just curious if you’ve offered any advice to other parents of clubfoot kids before?
This would be a great video hospitals could have new parents watch after giving birth. I think many of Emma's videos could be a huge benefit if they even made standard to watch while recovering. It was saddening how much I had to request certain answers (even to watch an infant cpr video) after I gave birth. There were many questions I never thought of, such as the video here, until after things happened.
There is a lot to get your head around as a new parent and so much you simply don't know you should ask about. I am glad these videos can help a little.
I have learned so much stuff from your videos that have been so helpful. Maybe this is just my doctor, or most pediatricians in the USA, but why are pediatricians not telling new parents about this stuff?! My pediatrician waits until stuff becomes a problem, doesn't talk about preventative measures. I'm about ready to switch doctors.
I'm honestly not sure why this information isn't covered. I think it has to do with the fact that they are completing health checks. There is so much they are already looking at, that it might not be something they think about in that moment. You could maybe ask your paediatrician to give you more information about preventative strategies at each appointment.
Unfortunately, many physicians are pushed to meet a certain number of patients in a day to meet the $$$ mark and insurance reimbursements. So time is limited with each patient. It sucks. Less likely to happen if you are lucky to find a small private practice (may or may not take your insurance).
Thank you for these videos 😊
No problem 😊
I wish i knew this with my 1st. He has brachycephaly which has gotton much less noticeable now that he’s 3, but I still see it and beat myself up from time to time. Oh well, you live and you learn
Our first had torticollis and had to go for pt to help correct the issue. Unfortunately, we should have made the decision to have her fitted for a helmet because she did end up getting a flat spot on her right side and some subtle difference in size and shape of her eyes. She's 7 now and you most often can't tell since she has curly hair and a beautiful smile. She hasn't noticed or asked about it yet but I feel like some day she will. I have very few regrets as a parent but that is one of them. Her subsequent 3 sisters didn't favor one side nearly as much as her but if they had, we would have gone about treatment a lot differently. I wish I had seen this video back then!!
Thanks so much for sharing! I am sure you have done an amazing job raising your 4 children!
Thank you ma
I’m glad I already knew and did this. 😊
I wish I knew about this sooner. My daughter was born with jaundice and spent 4 days at the neonatal under a UV-machine. The nurses only placed her inside and didn't change my daughters position, so she was laying on her back most of her stay. Her head was very flat in the back when we left neonatal. She is almost a year old, whilst her headshape is symmetrical, it is flatter in the back, and a bit pointy towards the back, most probably because of the first few days lying on her back during treatment.
That's wild that in the healthcare field where they are trained to know better they just left her there editor changing her position. How uncomfortable, poor girl
My now 2 year was suspected of having a flat head at 4 months. I ran around to a few specialists until we decided to fit for a helmet. They put on the tight head covering to measure his head and the doctor bursted out laughing. His head was in perfect shape, it was his crazy hair that made it look flat. It was now contained and we could finally see the actual head shape.
I know it can be a serious issue and a source of legitimate worry, so let me share something light hearted. At some point in those chaotic first few months, we did struggle with this issue. No matter what we did, our daughter would always turn her head back to one side. I remember, when out of frustration, during the middle of the night, I turned her head and she would always turn it back, I said to my daughter: "OK, if that's what you want, then let your head be flat!". My wife just woke up to this very sentence and burst out laughing. Since then, when something random comes up, we often say "Why? Because then you will get a flat head!" :)
Love this! It's important to laugh during parenting as it can be so hard sometimes. Particularly when you know what they should be doing and they just don't/won't do it.
@@EmmaHubbard true, as long as everything turns out fine, which it luckily did :) plus we did physio and I can not recommend it enough!
Oh you seem to be from Kecskemit in Hungary
So how did you fix it because I'm having this problem 😢
@@morganatkins5725 we took her to physical therapy (Bobath) where they assessed asymmetries and worked on them. It improved and over time the problem went away as she grew. Wish you the best!
I got lucky... My baby was all over the place. He is 4 months and his head is perfect BUT when he is awake he favors the left side. I needed a helmet cause I had horrible parents.
Sad that we have to learn everything on youtube.
Considering RUclips is basically a video encyclopedia, it’s not surprising that you can learn so much from it. Not sad at all.
@@drink15 RUclips is a wonderful thing. I guess my comment came from a place of frustration being that I left the hospital with my newborn a month ago and found a bunch of useful information on RUclips and Google that I think I should have been told at the hospital seeing that I'm a first time mom.
@sunhotpunnie agree with you but thankful also. YT can reach people less fortunate
@@sunhotpunnie I know that feeling but I try to understand that the hospital can't provide info on every single thing for raising a newborn. Hospital mostly just make sure you and the baby go home in good health.
Ik
I’ll help my newborn by switching which arm I hold him in. I typically favor my left arm but need to use my right arm more.
That's fantastic. It's so easy to always hold them with the same arm. It's something I had to really think about with my youngest.
Hi Emma this is Mohan from India
Watching your videos from past two months luckily I got your channel
Thanks for sharing your videos
Our son is 4 months and his head shape was slightly uneven we can see it .
By seeing your video I went to Pediatrician for any suggestions he’s saying it’s normal but we can see asymmetric shape what to do
Please help us with this…
Emma pls help
my newborn that is now 7 weeks old LOVES sleeping on her tummy and did since day one, we just found it out when she was 2-3 weeks old as we were practicing tummy time. And we let her do it as long as we supervise her., but lately even during the night (she auto wakes and asks for food every 2-3 hrs). Does and can this contribute to uneven skull? I dont notice the unevenness and weve been warned about this by every medical professional since day 1 so we have always made sure shes fed in different hand each time, sleeps on different sides on her bak etc.
And sometimes shes unable to calm down even during her witching hours which happen to be at bedtime. So we let her sleep on her tummy. Of course, we follow all safety procedures such as her matress isnt too soft for her to sink her head in and choke on, no toys in bed, shes in her sleeping bag (not swaddled, she hates it), etc. While i watch her thru the baby monitor she changes her head from left to right a lot and I didnt notice shes had near choking moments. She actually even gets annoyed and squeals if something even touches her face, like the sleeve of her sleeping bag, cuz it also triggers her reflex. So im like thinking its not completely unsafe...she still sleeps on her back when i can get her to, but if shes having it rough and its time to sleep thats the only things that works...thoughts?
This came out literally the exact right time. Just today I noticed my two week old definitely favors One Direction and I was starting to feel concerned.
Hopefully, the tips help. If it does persist though I recommend you arrange an appointment with a paediatric physiotherapist as they can provide you with specific stretches to help loosen the tight neck muscle.
Also congratulations on the arrival of your little one!❤️
That's an interesting music choice for a baby, but I suppose they all have different tastes even right after birth. 😉
In all seriousness though, I hope they're doing all better now. 😊
@@NyssaOwens HA I just noticed how hat auto corrected 🤣🤣 Yes she is doing much better!
My health advisor said that children's skulls still keep developing up until they start school. Is this true? My son does have a slight flat spot, but I have noticed it starting to round out as he's getting older. He's now 2.
We bought a very flat and tiny pillow for babies that has a cut out in the middle for the babies head to rest in so the head stays firm. Here they recommend it for babies when they sleep so their back-head doesn't become flat
Hie Emma, at 4 months 6 days is it possible to shape the babys baby's head. My baby's head on the forehead there's a bit drift.
I am particulary lucky cause my baby now is 2 months but he can keep the head up and strong since he had 1 month, moving normally the head both on left and right sides and following the things and objects in every direction and without any difficulties since he had 1 month. He has been very precocious, the pediatrician says it happens seldom :-)
Please what position is best for a near born age 0-3 months
I notice a flat spot and it's quite visible already and I also mentioned this to my babys doctor. She def favors the left side and no matter how often I turn her, she ends up sleeping looking to the left. Her doctor says "ah its not that bad yet" when I can clearly feel and see the asymmetry. It's really bugging the shit out of me that nothing is being done. I do my best to get her to look right but at the end of the day, in bed, she keeps looking left even if I tilt her whole body with the help of a rolled up towel. Her body will be tilted to her right but her face will either be straight or leaning towards left again. It's mega frustrating
Will there be any chances that the Plagiocephaly baby’s head rounder over time? My baby is 4 months old now, or is it too late 😢? So sad
Can we use baby travel pillow to tackle this issue?
My baby girl is 4 months and has developed a flat area on the middle of the backside of the skull. She has been checked for tensions and has none. When she was younger her skull was perfectly sculpted. She is able to move her head freely from side to side during the day, and is mostly on her stomach anyway. I think the problem is when she sleeps, she turns her head straight up in her sleep. I've tried and tried to gently turn her head to the side while she sleeps, but a few minutes later she turns it back in straight position. She sleeps around 11 hours during the night, and co-sleeps with me. When she is breastfeeding during the night, she sleeps with the head on the side, but otherwise always turns to head straight up. When she sleeps during the day she does it too, but takes the longest naps laying on me, where her head is to the side.
I don't know what to do, but am eager to fix it before it's too late. Any advice?
Hi! Now that your little one is 4 months of age, turning her head during sleep won't work as well - as she will just move it to the position she prefers at this age.
What you can do though is try to remove the pressure from that spot during her wake time. You can do this by:
- doing lots of tummy time (which it sounds like you are already doing),
- limiting the time she spends in car seats (only use them for travel)/bouncers/rockers or gliders as these place pressure on the back of the head,
- consider doing some supported sitting (where you sit her on your lap while she plays with toys),
- Consider using a baby carrier at times to take the pressure off.
I would also recommend you talk to a paediatric physical therapist (AKA physiotherapist) for more specific advice.
I hope that helps!
@@EmmaHubbard thank you so much for the quick response! I really enjoy your channel. I'm a first time mom, and it really helped me especially your videos on sleep. Love from Denmark
It's so nice to hear these videos have helped you a little bit! I really hope you're enjoying motherhood! It can be tiring but so rewarding! And hopefully you're getting a little bit of sleep❤️
This is very timely! I've started to suspect torticollis in my almost 4 month old as he really favors his right side. It's especially noticeable now that he's starting to swat and grab with primarily his right arm. I can hardly get him to turn his head to the left when he's on his tummy, even with toys and me being on that side I basically have to force him and he turns it right back. I've heard chiropractic care or craniosacral therapy can sometimes aid in this... not sure what to do next.
Hi @paigekoehl7032 so glad to hear this came at the right time. It sounds like it would be good to get your little one checked out to see if he does have torticollis. The best person to see for this is a paediatric physiotherapist (AKA physical therapist). They are the most skilled in assessing and addressing this condition. ❤
Hi Emma! My 1-year-old sleeps only on sides (both left and right) but never on his back. Is it okay in a long run (for his back).....
I think it should be fine in the long run. If you are concerned for any reason though I recommend you talk to your little one's doctor.
Hello Emma...love from India ❤❤...Do the baby poop depends on mother food...as my 6weeks baby poops more than 10 times a day ....Is that considered as loose motions
I'm not sure if it's normal but if the baby is feeding normally,taking enough milk and is not loosing weight,Dr's in England are not concerned.
I like this vid ...my baby is 1month n a week now n I do what exactly uve talked about ..thank u
Wonderful!
Solo quiero escribir, borraré el comentario de todas formas.
Ya no soporto nada, estoy cansada de todo. Odio llorar, siempre lloro y no soluciono nada. Ya no quiero nada en esta vida, solo quisiera ser una buena madre, es lo único que quiero.
Tengo depresión desde siempre, por lo menos desde que tengo memoria, puedo decir que por lo menos 15 años he estado así, hay momentos donde estoy bien y otros donde quiero d3jar de 3xistir.
Sinceramente lamento que las cosas hayan resultado en esto. Quisiera decir que amo a mi hijo, pero cómo puedo decir eso si ni siquiera soy capáz de amarme a mí misma.
Odio llorar, odio llorar mientras escribo esto. Odio que me digan que tengo que estar bien, que no tengo que estar triste porque todo se lo estoy pasando a mi hijo y que depende de cómo esté ahorita es como va a ser su futuro. Me duele tanto estar así con ya 7 semanas de embarazo, odio que mi hijo ya se sienta mal sin si quiera haber nacido.
No duermo en las noches y me la paso durmiendo durante el día. Tengo miedo de todo lo que pueda pasar.
No tengo a nadie con quien hablar, a alguien a quien le pueda contar todo.
Suelo llorar en las noches silenciosamente o durante el día, pues estoy sola casi todo el tiempo. Me la paso molesta todos los días y trato mal a mi mamá, a mi pareja de igual forma, más que nada la ignoro, no le respondo los mensajes y hago que sienta que ya no lo quiero.
Soy horrible, he tenido muy malos pensamientos.
Mi hijo no tiene culpa de nada, no debería sentir todas estas cosas, al final todo esto me lo busqué yo y lo único que sé hacer es hundirme más y más.
Me hubiera gustado terminar la escuela, porque la dejé. Debí de haber terminado la preparatoria hace 4 años. Hubiera querido terminar una carrera, tener un trabajo estable y después conocer a una persona, casarme y después ver lo de los hijos. Yo soy culpable de todo esto y ahora no sé cómo salir de aquí. No quise abortar, de verdad que no, algunas personas me dijeron que abortara pero no quise, no fui capáz de hacerlo, y amo a mi hijo pero porqué tuve que tocarle yo como madre. Mi hijo no tiene la culpa de que yo y su padre hayamos decidido salirnos de la escuela. Él se metió a trabajar y se está esforzando, yo no estoy haciendo nada, más que desperdiciar mi tiempo y pasarle cosas negativas a mi hijo.
No sé por qué existo, pero me hubiera gustado que no. Espero que mi hijo una vez nazca nunca vuelva a sentir todo esto que estoy sintiendo me dolería demasiado si eso pasa.
Ya hace tiempo perdí la emoción que tenía de hacer lo que me gustaba, he dejado de hacer esas cosas que me hacían feliz.
Tengo miedo, mucho miedo de ser una buena madre al inicio pero que poco a poco vaya alejándose, huyendo de mi hijo, así como todas esas cosas y relaciones que he tenido o tengo, siempre hago lo mismo empiezo algo y no lo termino, me alejo de las personas.
Estuve tomando medicamento psiquiátrico por bastante tiempo, pero no me ayudó (hasta me dañó físicamente) y lo dejé. No he podido llevar una buena terapia porque o yo lo abandono (tengo problemas con la puntualidad) o las psicólogas no son de ayuda y se duermen en las sesiones. No tengo dinero para pagarme una psicóloga y la única gratuita me mandó a ver a un psiquiatra, pero yo no volveré a ver a uno, ya me cansé de tomar tanto medicamento para que no haya un avancé, sino voy a ver al psiquiatra la psicóloga dice que no puede darme terapia, y pues bueno, ya llevo meses así. No sé porqué no puede ser solo terapia sin medicamentos.
Estoy agradecida porque hay muchas personas que me quieren, pero desearía no haber 3xistido. Al final creo detesto a las personas, porque si me quieren porqué yo me odio, es como si las estuviera menospreciando.
Me da terror socializar, lo odio. Me gusta estar sola pero al mismo tiempo me deprime bastante. La familia de mi pareja (que solo he visto una vez, por lo tanto no conozco pero con la que me iré a vivir) quiere hacerme un baby shower y me da tanta ansiedad, quisiera decirles que no quiero, que no quiero nada, pero sí lo haré, al final es una fiesta para mi hijo, no para mí, él no tiene la culpa de mis problemas.
Por lo menos puedo decir que en el ultrasonido de hace casi un mes, mi bebé estaba muy bien, está dentro de los rangos normales, mi embarazo va bien, él está bien, y espero siga así.
No sé qué hacer, me hubiera gustado ser independiente y gastar mi dinero y con eso comprarle cosas a los demás, a mi hijo, pero ahora dependo de todos y eso me frustra. No sé qué voy a hacer, no quiero vivir de los demás, pero tampoco es como que yo tenga algo que ofrecer, no soy buena en alguna cosa como para trabajar de eso, por eso estaba en esa escuela (que me gustaba tanto), para aprender. Ni siquiera sé cocinar, ¿qué le ofreceré a mi hijo si no tengo ninguna habilidad ni estabilidad mental, emocional, económica ni física, lo único que tengo más o menos bien es salud física, que espero siga bien después del parto, porque sino me quedaré sin nada ahora sí.
Al final estoy así porque yo me lo busqué, pero bueno, espero ser una buena madre, espero que por lo menos, por lo menos mi hijo pueda tenerme confianza de contarme cualquier cosa, por lo menos ser esa persona con la que se sienta seguro de decir cualquier cosa y no se sienta asfixiado de no tener a alguien con quien hablar.
My newborn was able to hold his head up day one
Omg…I had no idea I had to do all of that besides tummy time. What I will admit is that I let my girls sleep on their stomach despite the SIDS warning because I wanted to get more sleep. I was tired of them waking up every hour when sleeping on their back vs 4 hours off/on when sleeping on their stomach. I did make sure that my children were able to hold their heads up on their own before letting them rest on their stomach. I’m sorry I couldn’t take it anymore after 6 weeks.
Please at what age can tummy time begins ?
From birth 😊
❤❤❤
Thanks!
❤❤
❤️
You need to see how my baby sleeping 😂 too funny
👍👍👍
We always place baby on his back to sleep but he has started rolling and will roll onto his left side frequently. He switches back and forth between his back and his side. He is 3 months old. He has been to an Osteopathic Manipulative Therapist for tongue tie treatment, and she said he didnt have torticollis or anything. He turns his head both directions without issues during the day, but definitely prefers that left side at night. Is that something to be concerned about?
Lucky my kido never had this problem with favouring a side. He did get a small flat spot because I kept holding him in my left arm cause I’m right handed, we caught it and started changing/ rotating feeding sides.
Thanks for sharing!
I diligently followed the safe sleep advice (sleep on back, no pillows) and guess what happened, the back of my baby's head flattened. Then I was told by the mach nurse to give him regular tummy time ON the floor but a 2 week old didn't want any of it. So I was at a loss until the GP advised that not all babies have perfectly round heads.
