Plagio at 5 months age

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am new to this group. Our daughter is 5 months old and has

developed a positional plagio, mainly as a result of a left side

torticollis (which has now been treated, but the plagio remains). I

have consulted with my pediatrician and kinesitherapist, both of whom

say that the case is mild and a few sessions with an ostheopathe will

help. (My first osteo visit is on April 7th).

However, everything I read on medial site on the internet says that

no matter what the degree of the plagio is - mild to excessive, the

placing of a helmet is required if the infant is 5 months or older.

Have any of you had to treat that in you children at 5 months and

more, where no helmet was necessary, but only neck exercises and

repositioning were enough? I am not particularly worried about having

to place a helmet, but would rather like to avoid it if I can.

Also, doctors here (in Belgium) tend to say that " she will grow out

ot it " once she starts crowling and sitting more, but I know a few

cases, where it was not " grown out of " and different interventions

were needed at 12-24 months of age - when it takes much longer to

cure and it's more annoying for the child

Many thanks in advance for any info that you can share.

Kind regards,

ivanka
