Sleep Positioners?? Repositioning tips?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! My name is , I've posted quite a few times

about my daughter but I have a new problem! I recently gave

birth to a baby boy. I was taking to her orthotist for an

appointment and the Dr. said that he would take a look at Dominic while

we were there. Well. . to make a long story short, he is noticing that

Dominic also has a tendency towards his right side and is developing a

flat spot. I'm so upset because I've tried to be very careful with him

and it will be so upsetting to go through all of this twice. I

honestly do not know what to do. I've avoided putting him in a swing

or bouncy seat, but it doesn't seem to matter. Does anyone know of a

sleep positioner that works? Or maybe some other repositioning tips? I

hope that we can correct the issue before needing a helmet since

Dominic is only 10 weeks old. Please help!

Thanks,

Sam

A lot of babies have flatness at 10 wks that corrects. He may need

some neck stretches. Does go for PT? If so maybe you can ask

her therapist, or maybe ask your doc for a referral. I've head of the

Nightform positioner (recommended by our craniofacial

plastic surgeon) but i haven't used it.

At this point it is probably the tendendcy toward the right you want

to focus on. Put everything interesting on the left - toys, mommy, car

window etc. Also take some pics of his head and see how things change

over the next few weeks.
