my little girl has it and was told that she is going to be a handful - some chinese/japanese theory.  i googled it and came across another thing...that it can be a sign slow brain development.  so now i'm freaking out.  she seems fine to me and is babbling up a storm and meeting her milestones.  tell me i'm just freaking out for no reason!!

    Or it could have to do with the way the hair parts when LO lays down ...

    DS has it, plus a cowlick and half a mohawk all simultaneously. He's developing fantastically. I also have the swirl thing going on, it's just the way my hair naturally goes (I have very short hair.) I would certainly say I developed just fine.

    LMAO LMAO LMAO

    I'm sorry. But really. How the in the HELL do you suppose the swirl of your child's hair has a lick of anything to do with brain development? I will require at least three links from reputable sources before I will even consider not laughing at this. And with that, I shall resume laughing.

     Really, relax. While I can't promise there's nothing to this, my swirly hair does beg to differ with whatever you found. Also, my son is a straight up genius (he speaks 3 languages and can do multiplication up to 9's BAH), and he has a swirl.

    lol  Both DH and DS have it.

    DH is extremely smart.  Like Jeopardy smart.

    ...Sure sounds like an old wives tale.

    LOL...I knew exactly what you were going to mention when I saw the title of your post!  This is an old wive's tale in many asian cultures...totally bogus if you ask me.  I have a double hair swirl and I was told I was a wonderful child Wink You have nothing to worry about except maybe your LO having a hard time styling her hair when she gets older...j/k

    I've never heard of the slow brain development...that just sounds crazy to me...my brain is just fine by the way!  hehe

    My daughter has a really noticeable double swirl. So does DH. I think old wives tales are kinda silly. LOL
