Re: Has anyone ever seen improvement of brachiocephaly by repositioning only?

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

I think you are doing the right thing. This is not to say that it

won't round out on its own (or at least get better). However, you

don't want to take any chances and then have to wait such a long time

to see a neurologist. I really do believe that " it will round out on

its own " it just a standard answer that doctors give us. Best of luck

to you and your son. Keep us posted on what happens.
