[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, see a specialist.  Could be torticolis which our pediatrician never suggested but our nanny did.  Do not let your baby favor one side.  Continue to reposition him including switching sides on the changing table.  Tummy time, tummy time, tummy time!

Oldest DC with torticolis ended up wearing a helmet for six months.  [/quote]

OP here thank you for responding did the helmet fix the issue? What age was she when it was diagnosed? We see pediatrician in 3 days then see the referral so that’s why I’m trying to just not let a day go by without trying to fix it[/quote]

Yes, the helmet helped enormously but he, 8, still has a slight bump.  Our mistake was waiting until he was six months.  [/quote]

NP but if it makes you feel better, OP, my DD had a very pronounced flat spot at the back/side of her head due to torticollis (but she did not have the corresponding bump out in the front) and after months of listening to everyone who told us to wait it out, we put her in a helmet from 11-18 months, which is very much on the late side, but she now has a perfectly round head.

We went with Cranial Tech in Annandale and they were great.[/quote]
