Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 I am glad to hear that Vivian's head is getting better. Though I dont think that your lack of " good parenting skills " had anything to do with it so please dont feel like that. We as parents were not aware of the outcome of the back sleeping and therefore we are all here.

We parents are so not to blame for our baby's plagio/brachy/schapy. It just happens and most of us are not being aware of the potential for our baby's to develop this. Even if we are aware of it, there's only sooo much us parent's can do to prevent it from happening. It's one of those things that happens. So please, don't ever blame yourself for it!! I'm glad she's rounding nicely in such a short time. That's terrific!! Keep it up Vivian. Thanks for the good update. Debbie in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
