I didn't have a good night and had to get some sleep ;0 I just tried the tylenol once. It seemed like yesterday she was really fussy and just wanted to be held. Last night after I set up her matress it seemed when I woke up to check on her or feed her she was laying on her flat spot. I rolled a recieving blanket the long way and placed it under her neck and then folded the other end into the right side so that if she tried to turn her head that way it would just fall back or at least stay straight. I have also got rolled blankents under a recieving blanket in her bassinett. We purchases sleep right mat with the shorter wedges but she really cried a lot with that. I thought this way would be more comfortable. Do you have any ideas. I have heard of foam being cut and used so they can't turn their head back to the flat side. Where do you get it? Any advice we have our first visit with the specialist next Monday? Thanks for moving her picture I am still getting used to the group.
