I am also new. My pediatrician said don't worry about it. He said he sees

this 2 to 3 times a day. He said it may take until he is 2 or 3 but the

head will correct itself. I am not taking him at his word and have an

appointment with a neurosurgeon in 2 weeks.

Do any of you have any supporting data that shows these problems do not

always correct themselves? This will help us make a decision about what

to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
