Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I have a 4 month old son, Aidan who was just diagnosed w/ plagio at his last pedi appt. He has left sided plagio ( flat spot on left side of back of head). The doctor told us to do progressive positioning. It's not easy b/c he doesn't like belly time & sitting up for a period of time. his favorite position is on his back. I try to keep him laying on the right side (bump) as much as possible be he frequently manages to get on his back & sometimes laying on flat spot. I'd really like to avoid him having to wear a helmet mostly d/t the warm weather coming up. i'm not worried about what the public thinks. I do want what's best for my son & if that means getting a nice round head from having to wear a helmet, then that's what we will do. Any suggestions on positioning techniques? I've been doing the roll under the should blade to keep him to one side but it doesn't alway work and he doesn't like the boppy. Also, i'm from Mass & have Harvard Pilgram insurance. Anyone else from Mass w/ that insurance? i plan on calling tomorrow to find out if they cover the helmet. I'm so glad i found this group & look forward to meeting all of you plagio mommies!
