It just so happens my son has mild plagiocephaly and the RCH won't put a helmet on him - they say at just 4 months old, he has plenty of time to improve with hands on work ie. tummy time, placing a towel underneath the cot matress to tilt it so, the baby's head falls to its better side, and having him upright as much as we can during the day without applying pressure behind his head. They only put helmets on babies with severe plagiocephaly. I hope his head will correct itself in time as they say at the RCH. Is there somewhere else I can take my son for a second opinion? Does anyone know of a specialist that handles plagiocephaly in Melbourne other than at the RCH? The internet doesn't have any other contacts. Thanks.
