Hi :

Wow, sounds a lot like my Abby! Abby also weighed 20 lbs at her

4 mos check up and was 27 " .! Abby was also a " champion " sleeper like

(well, for her 1st yr anyway! hehe). My Abby's plagio began in

utero, a lot of plagio cases do begin while baby is cramped in

mommy's womb.

It sounds like you worked VERY hard to bring into your lives -

congratulations. What a terrific Christmas gift

I am so glad that you were able to talk to your pediatrician & she

will be seeing if he can get your appt. moved up or else refer you to

another specialist. Please let us know whatever you find out.

I'm also thrilled to hear you have already been in contact with

Cranial Tech & you have an appt already next week . They really

are an amazing group of people. Also let us know how that goes &

what the recommend.

You sound much more relaxed in your latest email than you did

earlier! I am glad we were all able to help some.

Please be sure to keep us updated on your ped.'s progress & your appt

next week with Cranial Tech.

Welcome again

Welcome to the group!! These guys are the best when it comes to

sharing info! It seems like you are more at ease with the whole

situation at hand, which will make a huge difference. You are a very

proactive and dedicated mommy! Good for you voicing your concerns to

your ped about the length of time you have to wait! Let us know when
