Same thing happened to me hun, she was wedged in my pelvis plus they stretched one side of her neck muscles when they tried to do the vaccum thing and she only turned to one side and her other neck muscles (on the other side) shortened because she never turned to that side (omg did that even make sense...? I'm so friggen tired!).

We noticed Jazzy's head was funny looking, she had a massive bulge in the front and then on the opposite side in the back, and was completely out of whack. She was our little lumpy bumpy babe. We got the diagnosis of left torticollis and plagiocephaly.

At 4 months our CHN told us to make sure she had lots of tummy time (which she wasn't getting as she'd scream the house down) and turn her head while she slept so she slept on the other side, then we saw a physio at about 5 months who said she'd need the helmet BUT after 2 months of actively keeping her off her head (limited back laying and supervised back laying so she wasn't worsening the flatened area) it is correcting itself.

It is NOT your fault. It CAN be treated without a helmet. You've caught it so early that it seems unlikely that they'd do anything but positional therapy until at least 4-5 months (I think my physio said they like to make sure bub has good neck strength before they do a helmet). We bought a BUmbo at 4 months, I think Bella is a bit early for that but when she is ready a Bumbo is great as it keeps them up (Jazz loved her rocker but would lat her flat spot in a groove so obviously wasn't any good for her head). We started doing tummy time in front of a mirror or near the glass doors in our house (so she could see outside) and she tolerated it much better.

If you have a q's let me know xxxxx
