Re: repositioning tips-pic in photo file

[Guest guest]

Answers to questions:)

" Coop " is 7 months old.

Doc wanted to wait until the 9 month check up.

Was breastfeed until about 7 months.

He lays on his nonflat side at night and during nap time since 6

months old. He doesn't flop around, he stays on his side:)

His head circum was 25% at 6 months (was 10% when born, increases

with every checkup).

According to my measurement it has only grown 1/4 of an in. since

then. According to my growth calc he would have to grow 1/2 in. by 9

months to stay at 25%, which is alittle over 1mm.

I figured the cephalic ratio to be about 93%, which would indicate he

has some brachy.

A few people suggested putting him on the bulge area sometimes. I am

going to do that during nap times and when he is eating/bottlefeeding

to put pressure on the bulge. Do you think this will help? I laid him

down a 1/2 hr ago on the bulge side and he's having a hard time

sleeping, any ideas to help him or should I give him time? Should I

train him to sleep on his belly? What could I do so he doesn't roll

back on the flat side? (he naps for about 3-4hrs total a day). I will

lay him on nonflat side (or less flat?) at night to help with brachy.

I am starting a new photo folder, to which I hope the old one is

deleted. I added 2 pics of " Coop " on the left side. Difference

between 6 months and a little over 7 months.

Thanks for the encouragement! Looks like I have some training to do

and lack of sleep to look forward to:p More advice is always good! I

would like to continue with repo because I see alittle difference

from month 6 to 7...
