Re: Can aggressive repo cause tort?

[Guest guest]

I doubt you caused tort. Is she going through a growth spurt? Are

you sure she didn't tilt before? I would ask your regular doctor

about visiting a PT if you think she has tort. When she turns her

head, does she move her shoulder? I only ask because CT picked up on

this with our son YET the ped. and myself never did. Hopefully,

others have more insight.

I am also doing aggressive repo w/my dd, who is 8.5mo. She is not in a

helmet. She has tort, and the repo has not made it worse, but I have

the added task of making sure to stretch her neck and extra amount,

because when she is lying in her repo position, she isn't stretching it

enough. hope this makes sense. does your child get physical therapy?

you can probably get an evaluation if you are concerned.

Jen, I heard reposition would work little for baby

over 6 month old. How long have you been reposition

your dd? My son is 8 month old. I want to try

reposition him to avoid helmet. But every one tells me

it is not going to work
