Re: Another thing about Doctors

May 17, 2002

I agree I think moms leaving the hospital should be informed about

tummy time and also signs of tort and plagio. Moms need to know what

to look for and what to do to avoid this. ALthough in myas case it

was caused inutero still if I hadve known this even existed I couldve

had her in her DOC band sooner. Plus I couldve not been wondering why

she couldnt turn her head and why her head was so flat. I mean she

was my 3rd child and I had never heard of either tort or plagio.

Moms need to be aware!! I wonder if Primetime or 20/20 would be

interested in doing a peice on this?
