RE: [SPAM] My baby diagnosed with Torticollis - Need some Info

There is a Group for Torticollis that you may want to

check out:

I personally would not be concerned with the lack of crawling at

6½ months old. My oldest son didn’t crawl until he was 10½ months old

and he didn’t have tort. The age at which babies start crawling varies

so much. However, you should definitely see a physical therapist for treating

the torticollis.

Info

Hi

Until I took our baby to CT, we didn't know he had Torticollis ( Neck

stiffness). I did notice his face tilt towards left but always thought that

was how a baby looks. I am really worried now because I heard band treatment

may not get good results if this neck stiffness is not treated. And also

heard that babies with this problem have delays in developmental milestones.

My baby is 6 1/2 months and has just started rolling over. We think he is

strong enough to crawl or sit but he cant do them. He can not sit with out

support and is not able to crawl or atleast try crawling. I am thinking

to call his pediatrician and ask him to refer to a physical therapist.

Has any one of you had the similar problem ? Pls respond .. Any information

would be very helpful.

Thanks

Chanda
