Flat head

My 4 month old was diagnosed with mild-moderate plagiocephaly recently. I would like to know if any LO's with flatness rounded out without the helmet? We have been repositioning to try to avoid the helmet altogether.

  • Ours did! I never got a degree of how severe it was but it was very noticeable at 2 months. We did PT and repositioning and went for a helmet evaluation. We were told it is now very mild and are not getting one.

  • We are headed to the plastic surgeon at CHOP on Tuesday and will let you know the outcome. I'm so worried about it. I feel like she's getting better and the pedi just needs to cya, but of course nobody wants their baby to have to see a specialist.
  • Unfortunately repositioning did not work for us. LO got a helmet on Tuesday. We suspect he also has torticollis and I think if we had been more aware of working on that sooner it would have been better!
