5M infant with flat head & torticolis
By the time we got to know our second baby developed flat head- she was 4M old. Obviously our first reaction wasn’t to take her to Physical Therapy (PT) or use a helmet. I wish we did that. We didn’t have enough awareness about all this.
By the time we acted and took her to PT, she was 5M. We were still hoping her flat head would resolve on its own with increased tummy time.
By the time we had her seen by a cranial specialist and they recommended helmet, she’s 5.5M.
Hoping the helmet treatment would begin before she turns 6M. (Currently going through the insurance process for the helmet treatment)
I’m getting so scared, guilty and depressed for my second baby for going through this.
Please share some positive experiences about the helmet journey for infants. ❤️🩹
