Re: Torticollis, formula feeding and maybe acid reflux?

[Guest guest]

I am so glad to have found this forum...my 2 1/2 month old daughter

has left torticollis and plagiocephaly that is getting worse. We are

FINALLY getting some physical therapy services started with

SoonerStart (I'm in Oklahoma--that's our HeadStart) but I'm worried

b/c it seems to be getting worse very quickly. She has also had

choking/coughing issues while feeding, almost since day one. And I'm

convinced she has reflux b/c she coughs after a feeding, anywhere

from 30 minutes to several hours later, and appears to be swallowing

down what came up (but her pediatrician doesn't seem all that

concerned). I'm concerned about what it may be doing to her

esophagus if it is reflux. I feel like no one is in any hurry to

help this get better and I'm wondering what other resources are out

there regarding the possible link between the choking/feeding issues

and torticollis. My nephew ended up having to wear a helmet for the

tort/plag and I am wanting to avoid that....
