MY BABY HAS A FLAT HEAD! 5 MONTH OLD BABY UPDATE POSITIONAL PLAGIOCEPHALY
#positionalplagiocephaly #5monthsold #postpartumupdate
My sons head was flat and every single appointment I would bring it up because it bothered me SO much, but it shaped out on its own! Once they start sitting it helps a lot!
My daughter one sided head is flat n she's 5months will it get better?
@ Joy... Same here wit my 5mths old son. Bt it's getting better as he is trying to sit.
@@joyomoze372 I am having the same issue. can you tell me how things turned out?
@@ramatukamara8300 I am having the same issue. can you tell me how things turned out?
Am here wondering if it’ll go back to normal. Thanks this gives me hope
she starts talking about the flat head at 4:30
Kim Wold thx :)
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks you! I skipped hahaha 🤣
My son had a flat head around 4 months old, his pediatrician just advised us to do more tummy time and constantly turning his head so that way he wasn’t on the flat side of his head. He grew out of it so try these suggestions! It’s normal and nothing to worry about! You’re doing a great job, momma!
Thank you!!!
Did he has it on any side left or right side?
My son has flat head on right side and am very much worried
My son has it also he's 4.5 months right now. On the right side and if you look at the top his ears don't align. I'm so worried now. My pediatrician doesn't give me anything at all I'm so annoyed
@@mbnvnd and how is your baby now ?
Thank you
You are a wonderful mama. It took me quite some time to let the mom guilt go about Scarlett’s flat head so I completely understand how you are feeling. Here for support if you need anything! Xoxo
Thank you babe!
Is this normal..i mean does this hinder brain's function in any way?
I wish you’d talk more about your postpartum journey! I love how real you get while also making it clear that everything that is happening is okay and very normal and I just love it.
My daughter spent 40 days in NICU had a perfectly round head.. I was in the nicu holding her 12 hrs a day. When she came home I held her all day she would slept tho 12 hours a night and started having a flat head.. I got so nervous dr said don't worry about it and her head is perfect now at 11 months! It just rounded it self out. Her head looked like Stella!
So good to know! Thank you!
My baby has a flat head at 8 months will it get better
Thanks for your openness about her head! My son is 8 now, head flat af but so so so handsome and so so so healthy! My 4 month old now has some flatness from developing a preference to sleep on his left. I keep him off that side and have noticed a difference. I also take him out of his car seat as soon as we hit our destination and try to space out our outings so he isn’t always on his head. Hope you get the answers you’re looking for. The mom guilt wears off :)
Did your babu grow out from the flat head
I needed to read this 🥺
Thank you
My daughter is 4 months and I used olive oil for her cradle cap. All i did is put olive oil on her head and get one of those thin combs, and start combining it back. Do that for 5 min and than give her a bath . I only did it 3 times( a few days apart ) and now her head is all clean.
I am definitely going to try that!!
Please get little Stella an appointment to see a physical therapist! plagio can be very serious, but it’s a very easy thing to fix and pediatric physical therapists are sweet angels on earth! There are many steps you can take to resolve it prior to a helmet! Like you said, the earlier she sees a PT the easier it is to resolve!
I feel mom guilt too about my sons flat head. He has it on his left side. 😕
Its comforting to read in the comments that it can eventually settle out. 😊
My son has it on right side. Does your son head improved on its on?
Trust me they told my parents that and now I'm 22 and severely self-conscious. I got bullied for it and even had a ex-girlfriend point it out. I can never find a haircut that's right, I'm 100% it has nothing to do with genetics and all with how babies sleep. Either way, it messes alot of people up when they grow up and if I'm being honest looking in the mirror at my profile makes me depressed.
James i swear same dude
@@Suicide-Samurai but it is not a matter of concern right? By that I mean the functioning of brain is normal ?
My son had a pretty severe flat head. Helmets were recommended, but I decided to try a couple things first before we dove in to using a doc band. We ended up getting a dock-a-tot for him to sleep in at night and it completely worked itself out! We also went to a cranial technology office, and I do feel like they are biased to wanting you to buy a helmet. Just my opinion! Do what feels right to you momma! ❤️
Yeah isn't that super dangerous?
Does your baby head corrected????
My little man is 5 months as well, over 14lbs and nearly 26” long. He’s just about to be in 6m clothes. He also is the happiest baby ever. He laughs and smiles all day. He also basically cat naps all day and sleeps from 8-9pm to 5:30am. Then asleep again until 7-8am. I can’t wait until he naps better because I need to be able to get more done in the day. I wanted to say I was also worried about my baby’s head. To me it doesn’t look that bad, but I worried about it constantly because it looked like it was starting to get flat. I was told by his pediatrician and chiropractor that his head is perfectly fine. I was told that the flat area is where the plates of his head are forming together and it’s giving a flat appearance. Because I’m still not convinced, I try to do more tummy time and such. The thing is, he is held or sitting up most of the day. Has been since he came home from the hospital. He had such a perfectly round head until he was like 3m old, then all of a sudden I swear it looked less round. I was told because he sleeps in long stretches in the night, it can cause a flat head. I was told to try and have him sleep on his side and alternate sides every night (I did that with my daughter, but because she loved sleeping on her side, she had the most perfectly round head, still does at 5). So I would say maybe just try having her sleep on her side? I’ve been trying with my LO but he loves sleeping on his back, with his head facing to the right. 🤦🏼♀️ I was told once they sit up more and such, it’ll fix itself. Here’s to hoping.
Also, I’ve thought about cutting my hair too because my hair won’t stop falling out. I feel like my pony tail is so thin now. Haha. My husband refuses to let me cut it though. Ugh.
i need to know what happened with your son's head
i just came here to this video
Excuse me, you look amazing and stella bear is too cute. Baby fever over here.
ugh thank you!!!!
You are doing a great job Mama! My daughter had a flat head and the pediatrician didn’t seemed very concerned. I knew in my gut it was not okay though. We took her to be evaluated for a helmet and she fell in the “severe” category. She wore it for 5 months and it helped tremendously. I am so glad we did it. The earlier, the better. I felt guilty too, but it’s absolutely not your fault. 💕
hi,you can try this pillow, my baby also has flat head but now after several months his head turn round by using this pillow on amazon:www.amazon.com/Shaping-Newborns-Pillowcase-Breathable-Ergonomic/dp/B07RXBK1C7
Did helmet really help...how much time it will take
@@yasirakhaliq2903 Helmet may hurt baby's head and looks like very ugly. I bought a soft memory baby head shaping pillow for my boy, now it improves better than before
It’s for sure not your fault mama, but also way to go for being so proactive about it. She is the cutest baby ever!!
Do you think it’s a good idea to have a Doberman with a 9 months old baby girl. Thanks 🙏
Hi there, do you have a pediatric neurologist for your baby? You should really get an appointment with a neurologist if you haven't already. I hope you don't think I'm being pushy but getting your baby checked out by a neurologist cannot possibly hurt her. They will just check her reflexes and lots of other things like is she meeting her milestones, etc. I have a 25 year old who was born at 4lb 4oz.
Btw your baby is adorable.
I was the same way when they told me my daughter had plagiocephaly...I totally felt like it was my fault! She did eventually grow out of it, so don’t feel bad mama 😊
Thank you! That makes me feel so much better!
My son has plegiocephaly too and am worried .what did you do to make it even.
What to do for 5.5 mnth baby having flat head from back and right side??
@@sukhdhimaan079did your baby's head shape rounded ..
Please reply
She is so cute. My daughter was preemie and she was 3lbs 15 oz was in preemie diapers for like 2 months. And she was in the NICU for 3 weeks. My son has microcephaly and the back of his head is flat. They noticed when he was a baby but nobody worried about it then he got sent to a developmental pediatrician and he diagnosed him with microcephaly on the spot
She's an absolute doll!
Thank you!!
Yesss I go psycho me too and when I took her to the doctor and the doctor say she fine I’m like no I called the cranial thing and I have appointment on Friday July 28 2023
Cutest bib, and she is the cutest tiny but mighty little princess!!! No worries on the sleep training mama, I was the exact same. My son didn't start sleep training til 7-8 months.
But I feel guilty coz my baby has very round head he started rolling at 2.5month and never sleept on his back he sleeps on his Tommy or on his side.. How to make it flat he is now 5month old.. Plz someone help me m really worried..
Could we have an update on the outcome pretty please??! 😄 I’m going through the same thing and just wondered what happened. Thank you x
Her head looks great! and round! lol So glad we went with the helmet.
I love being a mom of two! I have two boys. 2 and 2 months :) I also laugh at myself for thinking one kid was hard. I always thought I had no time. I seriously have more time now and I’m way more laid back 😂🤷🏼♀️
Right! So funny how life changes lol
I also have 2 under 2 and videos to come on that lol ruclips.net/channel/UCzt9QX7_x-S2YlROok_4Hfg
My pediatrician recommended Selsun blue at our 6m appointment the other day. He said it sounds weird but it works for that lingering cradle cap. My little guy was starting to scratch his though and he had little scratches all over. Coconut oil wasn’t cutting it anymore. I got the naturals kind and it already looks so much better and he’s stopped scratching.
Kirsten Burke my sons dr also recommend the selsun blue. I think it was a little extreme at first but it worked very well and cleared his cradle cap up so quick
Selsun blue worked for my baby too
Yes, please keep us posted my daughter is 4 months and on Monday I got the appointment to see her small flat head 😬
hi,you can try this pillow, my baby also has flat head but now after several months his head turn round by using this pillow on amazon:www.amazon.com/Shaping-Newborns-Pillowcase-Breathable-Ergonomic/dp/B07RXBK1C7
Try an amber necklace for the drool! It has been our saving grace! Such a precious baby girl ❤️
Totally going to put Lucy's amber bracelets on her! I forgot all about them lol
Where did you get your baby’s hair bands from? Ps Stella and Lucy are so cute! And you look amazing!
Bloom head wraps! Thank you!!!
Is Stella holding her bottle on her own at all yet?? My son seems to have no interest in holding his, he’s starting to play and will take things from me even puts his pacifier in his mouth but does not care to hold his darn bottle lol! I just bought the handles you can attach to the bottles and am going to try that I feel he will start using it better. 🤞
She is! Not every time but she gets better every day lol
Please don't feel guilty even if it was your fault no mom is perfect and everyone needs to stop expecting perfection you are doing everything you can to advocate for her and that's what's importaint
Thank you soooo much
I was the same way with my daughter with sleep training. I couldn’t get myself to let her cry it out so now she’s 16 months and still sleeps in her bed right next to mine haha
I'm SO clingy to her I would rather not sleep honestly hahaha
Maryssa Albert I’m so glad you said that because I feel the exact same way
Woow just like me I have my first baby girl she turned 6 month old and I'm still freaking out is a stressful thing it like I'm gonna go crazy .by the way your baby girl 💕🔥 is beautiful .
She is so adorable!!!! My little one is almost 3 months and my worry is also flat head. I’ve been trying to wear her often but she sleeps so well at night, 7-9 hour stretches that I’m paranoid she might get it also. Hope your appointment goes well!!
Omg I was laughing so hard when you were talking about the practitioner talking about flat head. I would be annoyed too! Sounds like she was nice but she didn’t ease your concerns at all! Ps: try not to have mom guilt! My sons head actually looked really similar to hers at that age and it totally evened out in time!
Girls are precious and your hair is darling! 💕
Awww she’s so sweet!
Did you take the advise and made your daughter wear helmet? Thanks 🙏
Were in the same boat! My son is almost 6 months and I’ve been exclusively pumping for about 5 months (sooo annoying but worth it)! You’re doing a great job
36 flat head is my biggest insecurity. No one knows till I tell them. I cut my hair a certain way. If I went bald life would be over
For 5 months, my granddaughter had to wear helmet when she was 3 months old. Thanks 🙏
I understand you're concern and in sure it can be fixed but as a hair stylist, many people have flat or uneven heads unless it's really bad or they re bald you really cant tell.
Just saw your video, - glad to hear that there’s more information about how to avoid flat head today. The crown and back of my head is flat (mostly my back head) and as a grown woman, I cannot wear any headband, they just slip off, and I can’t wear a low ponytail. But, it is what it is 🤷🏼♀️😊 I just have to limit the hairdos I can pull off, and make the best of it. 😊
She is so adorable! Has her pediatrician said she has a flat head? If not, then she's perfectly ok :) Flat heads are so common now and they know what to look for. She's beautiful!
Her PA did! But I am actually switching offices because where we are at now they literally weren't giving me the option to see a real ped and I just think that's crazy!
Im a freak with food too lol 🤣 im waiting
My baby girl also has flat head now too, and it is such a guilt factor. I bought a flat head pillow so im hoping it help! 🤞🏽
She is adorable btw 💗
did it help ?
I love these updates my son is 2 days older than yours and he’s is doing the exact same things as Stella. I totally get that your waiting on 6 months to try solids I wish I waited because it seems every other food we try he brakes out into a reaction it’s very unsettling 🙈.. and as nice as the dr may have been the fact that she didn’t try to comfort you in letting you know more about why her head maybe like that and what will happen next and that she didn’t want to keep an eye on it just seeming to brush it off I am completely with you wanting to get a second opinion even if it is okay you’ll feel so much better. You shouldn’t feel any stress and worry about something that could end up being serious in the long run I’m glad your getting a second opinion very curious to hear what they will tell you. I pray everything goes fine!😉
Thank you so much!
My LO has a flat head too,he’s 8 months old. And I hope it will get round soon
My baby just turned 5 months yesterday and still her head is flat I really don't know what to do😭 but almost everyone says it will get in shape as she goes older.
Missvilie Guillermo I have heard the same too! Same situation 🙋🏽♀️
Me too
Baby head shape m aaya
Iam also facing the same. Baby is 5 months now
Have you tried using a nipple shield to get her to latch? I’m a brand new mom and I have to use a nipple shield for my baby. I’m trying to wean off of it but I am not trying hard enough. I’m only commenting because just maybe you haven’t thought to use one. Exclusively pumping sounds very hard I give you huge props!
Oh it doesn’t look that bad actually, I thought it was gonna be worse the way you were describing it..
my baby had a flat head too .how can I fix it.his 8 months old now
Well, I'm 14 and have a flat head but apparently 'ive grown out of it' please just get your baby a helmet
Before it's too late
I went through the same thing with my son and sometimes they can have a tight muscle neck that cane also be the cause of the head being flat. He ended up going through physical therapy and i ended up getting the helmet because it's faster. It was all for cosmetic purposes... he's doing fine now! So, there are options that you can look into if you want to speed up the process.
Did helmet help your son...how much time it will take your son to be Normal
How's your son now?
My generation (born late 80s) was pretty much the last of flat head Asian babies after the use of a ceiling-suspended sarong (hammock) bouncer was axed from most households. Today, most of us Asians with flat heads are a result of hours left in those sarongs.... I have a super flat head as if someone sliced off a part of my skull and seriously makes any hairstyle really bad on me. Even a pony tail was bad... Layered hair cuts didn't work either. We just spent too much time in those hammock things (up until 3 years) so it never gave our skulls a chance to grow out.
I have a 6 months old boy and his head is kind of flat in the back, his head measurements are 40 centimeters and he cant hold his head still yet, his developmental is not according to his age. 😢 i am worried
NOOB503 update
aik side se head ziyada nikl aaya he aur dosri side se ziyada bethh gya he ye cheez kahan se milegi
Im 16 and i have a flat head too
Same gang gang
was there an update regarding if she had to wear a helmet?? I can't find it
She did! I have a playlist of our docband journey ❤️
I exclusively pumped for 3months and held hope for my son to latch. A little after 3months old, I gave it a go again again (I would always try daily/weekly) and BOOM!! He latched and I’ve been breastfeeding him since! Unfortunately he won’t take a bottle now, surprisingly. BUT I know that will take time as well like it did with latching. Thank you for sharing your video. My son has a flat head and I hold guilt that I didn’t do things correctly as a mom to prevent that:/
My baby is 5 months old, have flat head. I feel so terribly guilty, trying my best though. Dont want him to wear a helmet.
My daughters head got like that too. My daughter was 5 lbs 5oz when she was born. She laid on her back a lot and since their heads are so formable as a baby it can make their head flat if they are on it too much. I just had to put her on her tummy or put her in a toy that stood her up. She’s 2 now and her head is normal we never used a helmet or anything
I have a flat head and Im 15
Bruh I got one too I feel insecure about it :(
Me to
😂😂 me too bro just be happy that your alive grow out your hair
Yes
Hey! Great update. TFS😊
My parents let me have a flat head :( and it’s a huge insecurity and I’m thinking about getting surgery to fix it
Same here!! But it’s better for you because you have hair to cover it😂
Don’t think to much of it be happy your alive who knows if you’ll end ok after surgery just be thankful
@@noquemacuh2941 your comment just makes me feel that there is no hope
OMG.as flat as mine..i slept too much on my back on a hard cot when i was a infant.....i really feel bad about my head shape...course i am almost blad now but i can't shave all my hair.it looks weird...😂
Same here man
Im having thr same problem with my 6month old son my pediatrician said to sitting him in the baby booster seat because it keeps them propped up and supported without having their head get flattened by laying on it or having them sit up more i am also going to try the tortle beanie which i hear work and a anti flat head pillow so 🤞i hope this will work and good luck with your baby keep us updated and let us know what works for you
We did the helmet and we are so glad we did. Huuuge difference. I honestly think the flat head pillow made her head worse 🤣
Did you find that after cutting your hair the shedding went away? I’m about to go insane with how much hair is falling out! It’s all over my house 😂 Your girls are precious!
YES it has helped a TON! So so much less hair lol thank you!
My daughter has a beautiful shaped head my son has a slightly flat head. The difference is i slept her on her stomach. My son i slept on his back, because i was told to. but because i was scared of his head being flat, i carried him a lot...but still. Hmmmmm
I think my baby has a flat dead too 😩
UwU crying emoji me baby crying uhuhuhuh Its just a head lol ur ruining ur child life by trying to fix him like some machine it would be good if he ran away from people like you.
CzechSilesianMappper who says I’m trying to fix my baby’s head? I’m just saying for health reasons. Her doctor already told me so that’s why I thought so weeks ago if you don’t know anything just kee your opinion to yourself. As a mother I do what’s best for my baby. Little do YOU know.
@@sinac369 Lol imagine trying to fix ur kid because only that he has flat head yikes Its not such a big deal
BIKAT i didn’t know it would be till her doctor told me it was so . Bye if you don’t know stfu
Please tell me where u buy her bow
Can this be treated on adults
Is it possible to treat flat head on teens 😭 😭
My sons head is too round and im also frustrated about it 😑
Noooo not head and shoulders 🤦🤦thank god you didnt listen and lord please request another nurse lol she needs to retire
