She suffers from Plagiocephaly Positional.
Also known as flattened head syndrome.
Poor thing!! Its not as bad as it sounds &
Fortunately, positional plagiocephaly can be treated without surgery
It's most often the result of babies spending a lot of time lying on their backs or being in a position where the head is resting against a flat surface regularly
(such as in cribs, strollers, swings, and playpens).
We are working so hard to keep her off her head, unless shes asleep.
Tummy time, and Bumbo have been in constant rotation.
Her case is very mild, and so common. We take her back in Aug 12th
for a last evaluation. They will then decide if she will have to wear a
custom-molded helmet. I'm scared, I know this will interfere with her comfort.
This helmet must be worn 23 hrs a day. The helmet will redirect growth
and is the best for our sweet thing.
She could pull one off without effort, this Im sure of.
I'm just a momma with worries.
I'm praying for strength & for healing.
I have been blessed beyond measure. My girls have gods
fingerprints all over them.
