Two Month check up

in May 2012 Moms

DS had his 2 month check up today, first one he was 2 weeks.  The dr mentioned his head was flat on right side.  I can turn his head at night to see if it helps and I got a number for a specialist and maybe he needs a helmet.

 

Anyone else been told anything similiar?

Thanks, Kelly

    We were also told to turn DDs head at night, but she just puts it right back to the way she had it. Our Dr also said do more tummy time, but she HATES tummy time. So I fit in as much tummy time as she will tolerate, and we also use the Noggin Neat by Boppy during the day.

    i have not been told that yet, but my nephew did that. you can avoid a helmet if you try really hard to have tummy time, or in any other position to keep him off that side. if you do end up needing a helmet, it is no big deal, it is usually not for long, sometimes only when they lay down.

    Edited to add: Our Dr said we will re-evaluate the need for a helmet at the 4 mth visit.

    We haven't been told yet to try to turn our LO's head but like your baby, mine really doesn't like tummy time.  He won't tolerate for more than a few minutes.  He spits up a lot too so there are only so many good times during the day to lay him on his tummy so he doesn't throw up on himself from the pressure on his stomach.

    My LO also prefers to turn his head to the right when sleeping.  I have tried to lay him down with his head the other way but he moves it shortly after.

    For all of you who's lo doesn't like tummy time try it on a boppy or on you.  It is so important for their devolpmental and I know my boys always did better on top of my stomach than on the floor.

    This DD loves to be up looking over our shoulders and she pulls herself back to look at our faces.  I found today that she will do tummy time longer on her play mat then a blanket.  The blanket she pulls and it comes up by her face, because she is mad usually, and the play mat stays flat and away from her face.  So maybe try different surfaces.  With that DD has a less round side and her appt is on Wed so we are going to ask if it is bad then.

    Our doctor said our LO has a flat head and do try more tummy time.  She absolutely hates it, and even hates laying on our stomach.  I just bought a bumbo, she's a bit too young now, to use as she gets older to try to get her off her head more.  At her 4th month appointment I am hoping her head isn't as flat.
