New here - 2 month old twins..one with a lumpy noggin

April 26, 2002

Hi all..

My twins Zack and Zoey are two months old and both have

plagiocephaly, though Zack's is much more pronounced. We have been

using the Baby Abby sleep positioner with " soft " pillow for the last

month, and the condition has only become more pronounced. Our

pediatrician is trying to set us up with an appointment with a doctor

at Children's Hospital in Boston (we live on the North Shore).

We're going to begin some aggressive repositioning with loads of

supervised tummy-time to see if we can round things out a little. Do

I have a shot at avoiding the helmet?

I don't have any great arial views of the twins..here's a fairly

recent one from behind.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome - I've read a couple of the posts that have already been

made to you and it looks like you have gotten some pretty good advice. I

agree that at 2 months of age you have a GREAT chance at getting some good

correction with the repositioning. It's just like you say - aggressive

repositioning and loads of supervised tummy time should really help. We have

several people in the group that have used helmets from Childrens so that

could be an option for you on down the road if the repositioning doesn't give

you all the correction you need/want. Do either of your babies have tort? If

so you will need some PT to work that problem out.

Good luck and I REALLY hope you will keep us posted on how the repositioning

works. We LOVE to hear those repositioning success stories!!
