> My daughters head shaped up from doing aggressive repositioning . I

did the tummy time with a tummy time mat that had a pillow that

helped raise her chest off of the ground & it gave her that added

support she needed when laying on her tummy and she played with the

attached toys and forgot that she was doing something she wasn't fond

of lol. There is also some things that you can buy that can help out

when you do have to lay them down on their backs so that their lil

heads doesn't have all that pressure on the flattend area. Here is a

website that has some tips on repositioning

http://www.cappskids.org/CAPPSRepositioning.htm I hope this helps

some. Also the thing about repo is that its a hard job nothing easy

about it but with some babies it works pretty good and I wish you

luck with it.
