My 6.5 month's REPO, growth spurt & quick success?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have been repositioning my 6 month old, he has/had mild plagio

with the back right side bulging out. The reason why I was so aware

of it is b/c my 2 year old had it (but worse b/c I didn't know about

plagio at the time). Anyway I took an ariel shot on Feb 21st and

the right back side was looking worse even thought I've had him

sleeping on his tummy and some side. So on Feb 21st I started to

make sure he was on his right side at night more often than before

(right side for the first half of the night and then I would put him

back to sleep on his tummy after he woke up for his midnight

bottle). I took another photo on Feb 26th, which is only five days

later and the bulge is completely gone!? His head " looks " round

now. I know it sometimes depends on the angle of the camera etc. so

I will be taking more and keeping check on it but it's definately a

big change for the better. I can't believe it has changed that much

in a few days. That just goes to show how quickly plagio can

develop if you're not aware of it I guess. I repo'd my 2 yr old

from 5.5 months to about 12 months and it took all that time to fix

the damage (not fixed completely) that he must have sustained while

laying on his back from about age 3 - 5.5 months (I had him on sides

before 3 months - this on advice from my prenatal class but I still

didn't understand the significance of head moulding). Anyway, I

just think the quick change with my 6 mth is unusual. I will have to

make sure it doesn't go lopsided again just as quickly. Perhaps he

had a growth spurt during those few nights.

Hi,

I am thrilled to hear about the bulge diminishing! Thank you for

sharing this repo experience on the board for our other repo'ers!

I wanted to share that with Remy, we would see dramatic rounding

over the course of a few days, at times, just as you described with

your baby. I really do believe that if you can catch a huge growth

spurt while you are aggressively repo'ing, it's possible to see

impressive correction during that time. We also had our share of

small slips in progress, it appeared, during our repo'ing of

Remy... looking back, these were during weeks when I worked

incredible amounts of overtime, and my sleep-deprived husband was

unable to stay awake to watch Remy's nap position in his arms or the

crib.

I am so, so pleased for you,

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

That's amazing! My son is almost 6 months old, and I have been

repo-ing for a little over a month now. His flat spot is not

noticable to anyone else, and we've seen great improvements in his

forehead bossing! He just went through a growth spurt, so I know that

had to help. I'm hoping we can catch his next one and see even better

results. Good job on your repo-ing!
