Re: [SPAM] old plagio mom - new pregnancy!

[Guest guest]

Tummy time, tummy time, tummy time! Although, the day that my son's

cord fell of we started tummy time. He actually has rolled over

twice which I'm not sure if that was a fluke or what. Also,

alternate which way you lay them down to sleep or if they are

playing on their back alternate their head so they are looking

different directions. Basically, what ever you can do to keep them

looking different ways is best.

> I've learned that sometimes plagio can't be avoided. Well that is

how it was in my case. My son is a twin, and the doctors said that

his plagio was developed in utro. So while his head was round at

birth- due to how he was positioned during the pregnancy, was a

major factor in how his head grew.(but this isn't always the case.)

sit up and be part of the group (and it keeps pressure off the

head.) I think you have the right idea, in terms of avoiding

plagio with this next baby. Best of luck and Congratulations!
