Re: New to Board----> i think my son has plagio-Alabama

[Guest guest]

Hi there

I've just replied to Debbie with her daugher Brielle and she is

seeing success with repo and there are also before and afters for

repo in the photos section. As someone else said, it is really

important to check for tort or neck tightness on one side as this

does affect your little one's ability to place their head equally on

both sides and needs treatement through PT/home exercises. Otherwise

at 11 weeks, you have really done well to find out about this so

early and get onto repoing- it certainly can work especially with

milder cases, but there are no guarantees which is why it is such a

good idea to take photos every week as Debbie has done from the top

down/sides/front and back so you can see your progress. Also repoers

tend to set a deadline, such as 5/6/7 months, where if they are

still unhappy with the headshape or if they feel the repo isn't

working then they think about banding.

Good luck and keep us posted with Elijah's progress
