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

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

My daughter (6 1/2) months has brachycephaly. We have been

respositioning for 3 months now and have seen a little bit of

improvement, but not much. My doctor kept telling me it would round

itself out now and it hasn't. I didn't believe him and after much

pushing I am finally going to see a paed neurologist in two weeks. If

you aren't sure about it rounding out on its own, start the process

to see a neurologist. It takes a long time to get in to see one. I

really don't think repositioning helps. Maybe some other here can

offer more advice. Keep trying it though.
