4 month old. Too late for repositioning? Referrals in Fremont California?

[Guest guest]

I am completely NEW to this website as well as to plagiocephaly in

general. I have basically made my own diagnosis within the last few

days because my four month old's flat spot has not " gone away " like

everyone said it would. Now that I know what to look for, the

asymetry is very obvious to me (i.e. eyes and ears). My ped. says

wait and see it will go away, but after what I have read in the last

day, I don't buy it. I have called her today and insisted for a

referral to a specialist and in the meantime, I have begun the

repositioning that I have read about. While I will obviously

continue with the repositioning, my question is, since my son is four

months, can repositioning alone be successful or will I ultimately

have to resort to the helmut. I know it depends on the severity of

things, and since I haven't seen a specialist, I don't know how truly

severe it is. To me, it looks to be on the moderate side -- but who

knows what the specialist will say. I am really in the beginning

stages here, and any help that anyone can give will be really

appreciated. Also, if you have any referrals to give, I appreciate

it. I live in the Fremont, California area. Thanks!

We are just now getting results with a new ped on getting a referral to a neuro for 's plagio. I know some people have had great success with repositioning but I also know it takes a lot of dedication and patience to accomplish this. It's a wonderful thing that you requested a referral to someone and you are doing the right thing by getting this checked out. I know we have been repositioning to some extent (not as much as we should) but 's head seems to be getting worse over time. I know for my own peace of mind the best thing is going to see a specialist and get this taken care of. Our new ped is totally in agreement so it makes it so much easier. We just switched from another ped who acted like I was nuts.
