Hi, new member with questions...

[Guest guest]

Hi, my daughter, Madeleine is almost 10 months (she was born

prematurly so her corrected age is close to 8.5 months). She has had

a smallish indent at the back of her head for several months now that

we have been hoping would go away. Unfortunately it is still there

and we have noticed a couple of bumps develop on the right and left

sides of her forehead. I was supposed to get X-rays today but they

wouldn't take them at the clinic i went to since she squirmed too

much.

After spending many hours researching this weekend, i believe she may

have brachyplagiocephaly (no assymtry of the face but a flat head at

the back). Its the small bumps that have develop that have me really

worried right now.

I'm located in Toronto, does anyone here recommend a doctor at any of

the hospitals (i'm waiting right now for my paediatrician to call me)?

Also, if your child has brachy what kind of repositioning techniques

can you do? She sleeps right on the back of her head and i'm not

sure how to get her head to lie right or left...? Did your

son/daughter have this small indent as well?

Thanks in advance,
