Seeking advice on where to start??

[Guest guest]

I posted a few days ago regarding a sleep positioner- thanks for all

the friendly, helpful responses!

My 3 month old daughter has had a noticeable flat spot on her right

side since one month of age. Our ped. has told us to keep her off

that side which we have tried and tried to do. We've used positioners

and the tips we found online, but she keeps wiggling her way back as

soon as she can. I feel like we've definitely lessened the time spent

on that spot but it's not enough and it seems to be getting worse.

Her right ear is pushed noticeably farther forward than her left. I

plan to call my ped. tomorrow (office is closed today) and hope to

get more advice. My concern is how long should I wait before at

least consulting a specialist? My gut says to go know and at least

get an assessment of where we stand. I don't quite know where to

start...what type of specialist should I look for? I looked at the

cranial technology website's list but the closest one is a good 4

hours away. I live in MA and it seems like there must be someone in

the Boston or Providence area with experience in this.

I guess I'm feeling a little lost and not sure whether to run full

steam ahead or wait it out longer.....I also wonder whether I'm being

a neurotic first time mom since everyone around me keeps saying she's

fine and I should just relax!

Any advice?
