Re: Captain Picard is Brachy??? - Ali

[Guest guest]

Hi! That's good to know that it's normal!! Because when you look

at the severity chart for Brachycephaly (under Links I think), it

appears that our babies heads should be basically a certain way i.e.

not go up at all (side profile).

That's really what I am wondering - what the range of normal head

shapes is. Also, the head changes so much in the second year and

that Brachycephaly chart is really just for baby head shapes.

So, did you go to the neurosurgeon because you thought they needed a

helmet but then he said it was normal for your boys??

My boy has some flatness at the back so I know that is not the way

it was meant to be (but I stupidly listened to my peditrician who

said it would round out). His head does not go up from the front

like " Captain Picard " but a bit in the back - made worse by a weird

cowlick that sticks up right there so it's so hard to tell

sometimes - it actually looks okay in the bath because the hair is

not sticking up and giving it height.
