Hi there,

I have a 10 week old boy Riley and went to the specialist for a

hernia issue and he told me he was not concerned about that at all

and started looking at his head. As l had a bad delivery and he came

out upside down my husband and l thought his head was shaped by that

and that it would go back to the normal shape that a head is, but the

pedo told me no he has plagio, this was only 4 days ago and l have

been searching the net to find out exactly what it is and am just

getting more bomparded with other stuff. He measured his head and

told me about the helmet but then brushed it off as is expensive (his

words) but since then reading more into plagio it seems that the

earlier you get it treated the better. I am in Central QLD,

Australia, yet most of the sites seem to be american and l cant seem

to find out much about it here that is not confusing me more, if

there is anyone that can direct me to some good sites it would be

very appreciated. When l left the pedo l was in shock and felt numb

and guilty for not thinking more of his head shape he starts crying

when we move his head as it is always to one side and when we attempt

to hold his head the other way he wont stop crying, so we leave it

be. Is this painful for them? Any help or advise would be great.
