HI & welcome to our group! I am so happy you found us & we've helped

you out some already! Please be sure you let us know the results of

's CT scan. How'd that go? Was he sedated? You are a

very alert mom to have noticed your son's head shape even before your

pediatrician. is at an excellent young age.

Repositioning could definitely improve his head shape.

Good luck at the Dr tomorrow. Be sure to keep us updated.
