Just thought I'd update on what's been happening with DD. We saw the MCHN for 3month visit and again she told me "her hair will cover it"So I asked her how she supposes we get a bike helmet to fit when she is older? Or how we cope with the teasing at school. I think that stumped her. Ended up she thought that DD had issues with gross motor skills because she wasn't doing push ups at 14wks or 10wks corrected so she sent us to a visiting pead.
Paed visit was good. No issues what so ever with her gross motor skills. But the Plagiocephaly was identified as an issue. Turns out she has torticollos and we are supposed to start physio. We haven't heard from the physio yet though so I'm getting a little impatient. Paed also said if by the time she turns 1 her head shape isn't right then we need to get a helmet. That is what I was concerned about. From what I've read Helmets should be used between 4-8months of age to be most successful. DD has her ears misaligned now, her forehead on the right is protruding and when she feeds I can often feel a clicking of her jaw
Do you think I should go to the doctor and ask to see another specialist? We have private health cover. She is 4 months on Thursday and I don't want to get down the track to have someone say we should have done something earlier. TBH I'm starting to think the last couple of days, I'd rather just get a helmet on, align it all back up and continue witht he positional treatment after that. What do you think?
