Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Well, my son's head is flat in the back on the right side. No, his head was not like that when he was born. He was in distress during delivery, so they pulled him out with a vacuum. His head was really pointy, but that straightened out after a few days. I think his head became flat because he would only sleep in this little swing and only a certain way until about 2 months. I noticed this at about six weeks, but everyone told me it would go away. I asked my doctor about it at Connor's two month checkup. He said it probably would clear up on its own, but if not he was going to need some sort of treatment at 4 months. I'm going to a new doctor in April, not because of what he said about treatment, but because of his attitude towards me. Hopefully this new ped. will be helpful and informative. He can turn his head both ways and at two months the doctor said he had no problems with his neck muscles after he checked him out. I am going to check out his ears and head when he gets up and see if I notice anything. I have never looked before, didn't know to! I think I may be a little more frantic and upset than I need to be. But I don't have to tell anyone that when something is " wrong " with your child, you want to make it all better. I just want to do whatever I can to help him now without intervention later. There seems to be a lot of trouble in dealing with insurance companies. My insurance company doesn't even cover immunizations or well-baby visits, so I feel that I WOULD have a fight on my hands. But for my son, I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
