Good luck at the appointment, and stand firm in your concerns. You are in a great position to get excellent correction since Mack is only 2 months old. I wish I could go back in time to Cole's 2 month checkup (when I first mentioned my concerns over the back of his head being flat, only to have them treated very casually as something that would "round out on its own.") Knowing what I know now, I would have seen a specialist much earlier. It's great that you're so on top of things!
