Two week update on 's repositioning

[Guest guest]

Today makes two weeks that I have been aggressively repositioning. I

was very disillusioned the first week because I did not think that

there was any improvement. I started repo at 10 weeks and he is now

12 weeks. This past week I am excited to say that there is some

improvement. His occipital bone is starting to round out somewhat

and he is not favoring his flat side anymore because it is starting

to round out just a little. Since he is so young, I am successfully

keeping him off his flat side all night because I continue to swaddle

him as I have done since he was born. Also, he is responding a

little better to tummy time and little by little I am able to keep

him on his tummy better. Even though he has mild plagio, I believe

that I am getting better results by keeping him off his flat side

completely. In the beginning I tried to rotate him to both sides but

that did not work cuz he would favor the flat spot when I laid him on

that side. That is why I have found it better just to keep him off

that side completely. To ensure that he does not get flat on his

good side I lay him using a side positioner at night so there is no

pressure at all on the back of his head. I am very excited by his

progress, although slight, it is enough to encourage me to keep

going. His head does not look completely flat on one side now it is

rounding out. As always, I appreciate all of your encouragement and

advice and I lend all of my support also to all banding and

repositioning parents.

All right !! Keep up the great work! Repo'ing can work if we

catch the flatness and continue to be aggressive with it -- keep it

up!

That is great news. At such a young age, you should continue to see great improvement by repositioning.

,

It is wonderful that you are seeing some rounding! Way to go!!

Please keep us posted on 's progress. It is so fortunate

that is so young, and that you are able to reposition him

at night with relative ease... that should go a long way in ensuring

that you get the maximum results for your efforts.

Please keep us posted!
