Re: Flat heads everywhere...

Hehe, you are an official " plagio police officer " ....LOL, that's what

we call ourselves. It's funny how you don't realize how many gold

Chevy Malibu cars there are until you own one (I'm getting to my

point here!), then it seems everyone is driving that particular

car......Just like plagio. Once your child gets it, then of course

you're gonna closely look at every other baby's head shape! I really

wish I didn't stare at other baby's heads, but I can't help it! I've

spent over 2 yrs now staring at my daughter's head, so it's what I

do! I can tell it's never gonna end either. It really is so sad

seeing all these flat head babies, you're right, a lot of cases could

be prevented with some education. After reading about the American

Acad. of Pediatrics statement though, I don't think it's going to be

improving any time soon .
