Favouring one side of head?

[Daffodil Mumma]

Yup I have more questions for all you lovely and knowledgable ladies Sorry but at this point I trust all of you much more than any of the nurses I have found around here!!

So anyway, I have noticed Josh always sleeps with his head to one side...even awake he favours that side. So Im a little worried that ths will affect his neck muscles and possibly flat spots on his head! Should I be proping his head somehow during his daytime naps (only while I can keep an eye on him) Or am I just playing paranoid Mum at this stage???

Thanks heaps

It is normal for bubs to favour one side - if youre worried you could put a clean washcloth under the shoulder of the side she favours which can encourage her to turn her head.

Baby Chiropractor!

Mitch had a very stiff neck so I took him along to my chiro (who worked wonders when I was preg), it was amazing. She 'flicked' 2 or three spots on his lower back through his nappy, fiddled with his legs to check and he could move his head easily right from side to side immeadiatley!

They can often be a bit squished after being born, and a gentle manipulation can work wonders!

Same here, baby chiro corrected this for DS as well. He was a few weeks old when we started taking him.
