She worked for Cranial Technologies, Inc., which is the leading provid

er of cranial molding helmets. She has treated thousands of patients and has been actively involved in educating physicians, families and other therapists in the community.

Works every time.

If you can't go on an actual trip, try a friend's house, new room, new toys, OR letting it go for a few days - don't work on it and just leave baby alone. Sometimes they just need a break!

Try it and let us know!

Find yourself constantly stressing over your baby’s head shape? Worry no more! Leave the worry to your Baby Begin therapist. Enroll your baby in pediatric OT or PT, get stretches for their tight neck going, and get a repositioning protocol started… then watch your baby’s head round out and your worry fade away ✨

This statement would be… FALSE 💥

Babies born vaginally are at no higher risk for Plagio than babies born via c-section. If a baby has any type of skull abnormalities from the birthing process, they typically go away within a few weeks. Head “coning” is the most common one we see. In-uterine crowding is most definitely a risk factor, but the actual birthing process is not.

So, if your baby has a “coned head” at birth, try not to worry! It’ll most likely reshape rather quickly.

However, if your baby is developing a flat spot on only one side, this is most likely Plagiocephaly accompanied by some Torticollis. This would be worth mentioning to your pediatrician and seeking out a referral to a pediatric OT or PT.

Torticollis activities can be SIMPLE! This is a killer activity for babies with torticollis and we do it as soon as babies can reach actively for an object. Remember, torticollis affects more than just the neck. It affects the arms/trunk/hips and even the legs, so don’t JUST to neck stretches. Let’s do some arm work too! 👶

Head shapes can be tricky. There’s lots of information and varying opinions on how to correct flattening. If you’re a parent, ask yourself this ➡️ Does my baby’s flat spot bother me (no matter the severity of it)? If the answer is yes, do you have someone you can ask for guidance in the matter? Are they specifically trained in treating Plagiocephaly and Torticollis?

Your concerns are valid and you SHOULD pursue them until you have answers. Pick a trusted professional and go with your gut on what the best action plan for your baby is.

Parents- what are some other questions you have regarding head shape or development that you commonly get conflicting answers on?

Tummy time shouldn’t be a negative thing. Every baby is different in their overall tolerance of tummy time- however, don’t give up if your baby isn’t enjoying it from the jump. Reframe your thoughts, implement some “tummy time tricks”, and enjoy watching your baby build all of that strength to become more independent!
