Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 , Your feelings are completely normal. I think most moms (honest moms) would say they felt guilty and wish they would have done more to prevent the head from becoming mis-shappened; however, I will say just because you did the right things doesn't mean it necessarily would have prevented it from happening. The results could have ended up being the exact same! I know people that didn't give their child tummy time, had them on their backs a lot, their child slept more than mine, etc. and their heads are perfectly round. Be thankful that you can do something non-invasive now! Here is a link of a 19 month old that got great results...hope that encourages you! http://www.cranialtech.com/treatment/casef.html > > > > My name is . My son, Nate, is 12 months old.
