Parenting after a Loss

flat spot on DC's head?

Pedi said that DD has a flat spot on the side of her head.  It's not too bad, but I'm trying to "even" it out by putting interesting toys on the other side when she's on her back, increasing the length of tummy time, and rolling up a burp cloth and putting it on the right side so she can't turn/slouch her head when she's hanging out in her bouncy seat.  She's now half-asleep in her bouncy seat, pushing the cloth to the side with her forehead.

Any other suggestions?  I really want to avoid the helmet! :)

  • Boppy brand makes a little pillow that you can slip down in the bouncy or stroller that has a hole where the baby's head fits.  Let me see if I can find a link....

  • It's called the Noggin Nest.  I found it really helpful when I started using the jumparoo and walker at around 4 months just to prop her up as well because you can put it behind your baby to help prop them up!

  • Ooo, that sounds perfect!  Do you know if you can buy it at BRU, or do you have to order it online?
