Her head doesn't look great. Do you know what her cephalic index is?

this is the measurement for brachycephaly. The width (widest part)

divided by the length (front to back). Normal is around 80%. My

daughter had brachy with very little asymmetry. She started at about

97% (only 4.5 mm asymmetry). I don't think your daughter is that bad,

but I think it is more than just asymmetry. she seems to have some

extra width too. Take a look at sydney and see if you can see what I

mean...
