, you are definitely not alone!! I've only known about

Zander's Plagio for two weeks now and already, I find myself looking

at the head of every baby I see! Their poor parents must think I'm

crazy!

I know what you mean by checking everybody out. Almost every

kid/infant I see I immediately survey their head shape. Adults I

don't critique as much unless they are shaven. I was at the Verizon

store yesterday and the guy in front of us in line head his head

shaved. So naturally, I checked out his head! It sort of looked like

his head had been pushed up a bit and not so round in the back. It

was hard to know for sure though. It could have been just his

family's head shape.

No, you're not the only one, lol. Yesterday we were swimming and a

friend of our SIL's brought her four little boys. One had tort when

he was little and I could see that he had some resulting plagio. All

of her boys have a somewhat brachy headshape (guessing part of it is

in their genes), but on the older two it is very noticeable. Of

course I didn't mention it to her because they are way past the age

for banding. She's actually the one who thought Connor had tort (and

of course he did).

Hi.

I haven't read any responses yet, but I am sure they are all saying

the same thing (that is is normal) and welcoming you into the elite

group of " plagio police " !!. I notice it all the time now. In fact, my

friend has a 9 year old son with forehead bossing so noticeable, that

it drives me crazy!! How could they not see it??????? Too late now to

ever bring it up I guess. Very sad.
