Kate,

No kidding! It's about time the correct terminology is used about

this condition. I hope it opens some doors for some great products

for babies out there in the prevention of positional plagiocephaly.

That is wonderful news, and thanks for sharing your find!

Kate, When I received the summer edition of the catalog back in August, that advertisement is what prompted me to do the research on my son's head. We had been going back and forth with our former pediatrician and she would never tell us the name, if any, of my son's condition. When I did a search on positional plagiocephaly and looked at the pictures, I was shocked and at the same time relieved. Finally I had a name for his condition and I knew I was not just being a paranoid "first-time" mom.
