Hi,

One of our repositioning moderators will be getting back to you as

soon as they see REPO in the subject line. I'm sure they'll be able

to answer any questions you have. Keep us posted.

Hi there

Can I point you toward the excellent repositioning headquaters (in

Files)- there are many many documents in there which will give you

ideas and products to help with nighttime repo. There are sleep

positioners that can be purchased and other people have

foam/cushions attatched to the mattress or the back of the sleepsuit

which also help. Just trying to reposition the head will be very

difficult (depending on the age), so one of these devices will

really help. The reason Alyssa may be crying is that her flat spot

is lovely and comfortable, but it is essential she doesn't sleep on

it otherwise the plagio will get worse. The neck stretching is

absolutely key as it will allow her to reposition her neck and head

more comfortably- it may take a week or two for her to feel better

laying her head on the bulgy side.

Good luck

Thank you - I should say that my name is ! Alyssa is now 13 weeks or 3 months of age.

I have forgotten my password and trying to log on again but is not letting me at this stage - will keep trying.

I find it strange that when we do alot of tummy time (up to about 7 - 8 minutes a time now) - we find that Alyssa favours her head to the left whilst in this position (when lying she favours her rights side - this side being the flat side). Is this normal or is this what we should be expecting?

Should I be turning her totally on her side for her naps/sleep or should it be a gradual build up?
