Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hello, I've just found and joined the group yesterday. My son , 18 weeks old, has developed a flat area on the back, right side of his head. I would say between 1 and 2 on the posterior flattening line of the cranialtech diagrams in the file section. We've just had our four month check-up with the pediatrician and he basically said it will correct itself as spends more time upright or on his tummy. He recommended using a rolled up receiving blanket to keep him on the side opposite the flat area at night. He indicated a head band or helmet would be a last resort and we would see what things looked like at the six month check-up. I guess I am a little nervous and unsure having never heard of plagiocephaly until now, and worried there is limited time in which to correct things. Just looking for a little encouragement or advice! Thanks! in New Jersey New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.
