Re: Re: larger head circumference common with plagio?

[Guest guest]

well my son was 8lbs 13 oz when born my uterus waas small to begin with it should have been a ceserian..i suffered a 4th degree tear..and his head wasnt that big when he was born..the spot that is flat on him wasnt from sleeping because that part of his head that is flat doesnt even touch the bed hardly..wee think the forcepts squeezed his head during deliverychristineashok <christineashok@...> wrote: Our doctor (cranial facial plastic surgeon) said that plagio & brachyare more common in babies with

larger heads. The extra weight/growthwhen they are young and spending more time on their head makes themmore prone to plagio. So it isn't exactly a "symptom" of plagio, butthere is a relationship. My daughter's head was 50th percentile at birth, but >90th by 6 mo.This worried her doctor, but there was nothing wrong, and then shestarted tracking at about 95% for height, weight and head. Seems likeher head was just a little too small for the rest of her at birth :-)However, I think all that growth the first few months is what causedher brachy (flat in back). I asked her ped about her headshape at 2mo, but she said "don't worry" so I didn't make an effort to keepher off the back of her head - my mistake for taking her advice.-christinesydney 2 yrs starband grad>> My daughter has a larger head circumference, 16.5 inches at 3 months. > Is this a common symptom of plagio, or is this something separate? > I'm new, so thanks for bearing with all of the questions....> Maggie>
