Re: Car seat repositioning?

[Guest guest]

Thankyou everyone for such great ideas for carseat repositioning. Why

didn'y I think of putting the towel under the cover??? I am going to

look for some of the products suggested the mini boppy, or buterfly

pillow. You all are so knowledgable on this topic.

Ok, next question. Hayden does have tense and lax muscles in his

neck- I am assuming " tort " . I have no physical therapy knowledge at

this point (hmm.. that's funny I am a speech therapist- who almost

considered a double major in physical- wish I had) anyway.

I have taking the common sense approch to streching his neck- turning

side to side, tilting side to side, placing toys on the side he

doesn;t turn to well, and turning him away from the tv so he has to

really stretch to see it. Am I way off track in my home therapy

routine? I just don't want to waste any time before our evaluation.

ANy other suggestions for streching or repositioning would be great!!!
