Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 HI & welcome to our group! You're beginning repositioning at a great age with your daughter. I see you got one great reply already & I'm sure many more to come (board is slow on a holiday weekend!)...check out www.plagiocephaly.org/support then click " repositioning tips " .....also check out our files section on this board, then " repositioning " . My daughter is 2.5 yrs old already & SO many new products have come out since we tried repositioning her with the same side sleeper you're daughter is using, it never worked for Abby either. So I'm sorry I can't offer much good help here. Has your daughter ever been checked for torticollis - tightening of the neck muscle. Welcome again to our group - best of luck with your repositioning. Please keep us posted on your progress.
