Flat Head Syndrome

[snowflakes]

my baby has a flat spot on his right side of the head. sabi ng doctor baka daw nakahiga sha on that spot in my tummy. madalas shang mag tummy time since birth and until now he sleeps on his tummy. pero it still the same.
meron ba ganito sa baby nyo? i am scheduled to a ped neurology.

wow ang galing naman ng mga babies nyo, bilog ang head... swerte nyo naman.

How old is  your baby? How severe is the flattening? That will happen if you do not occasionally move your baby's head from side to side while they sleep. My yaya would shift my daughter's head several times in the night while she was a newborn.

I've read in some cases if the flattening is severe, the child is given a helmet to correct the shape.

my baby rin meron ng slight sa right side... and no matter how much we turn her head to the left, talagang ipapaling nya pa rin sa right.

We bought this pillow to keep her head "round" pero nakaharap pa rin sya sa right although much less na.

Her pedia said mawawala naman daw in 6 months.

My baby's head is like this also. Yung right side of the head is mejo flat, then yung left side mejo naka-bulge. Napansin ko lang yun nung mga 3 months na sya, so I thought it was because she always sleeps on her back and lagi nakapaling ang head sa right. So whenever she sleeps I turn her head sa left, kaso she turns to the right again, parang mas comfy sya sa ganun position. One time I checked her newborn photos, yung head nya pala is ganun na talaga paglabas pa lang nya sa tummy ko! Now she's 10 months old, madami na syang hair so hindi na halata yung flat side of her head, unless hihipuin mo talaga.

So mga sis totoo ba nanakaka flat ng side ng head ng baby pag laging nasa isang side lang siya pag natutulog? Si baby ko kasi lagi din nasa right side ang ulo kahit nililipat ko pa sa left o kaya i-straight yun head niya. Or inborn yung ganun? Baby ko ay 1month old palang.

Bat yung baby ko parang may lubog sa likod ng ulo nya, pero hindi naman masyadong malalim..ano kaya yun?

i forgot na to reply... my baby is now 10 months and still have a flat head syndrome on the right side. naka dapa sha matulog since 1 month so kahit nakadapa sha di na nagabgo korte ng head nya. my pedia advice to go to PT pero di ko dinala kase baka nga mabago pa. wawa naman sila pag laki kase di makaka pag semikal na haircut. as in ang panget ng shape. di halata kase long hair sha now. sana nga mabilog pa sha.
