Hi there, my name is a and Im from the Czech

Republic. I have two wonderful kids, a girl of 3 and a baby son of 3month. I

was told by a hip doctor that my son has got an " assymetric face " 3

weeks ago. I went to my pediatrician and she said it will get better and it

will go right by itself. But I started to notice that my son prefers right side

and always is on his right. So I turned the bed, moved the animals and other

toys on the other side. I always try to encourage him to turn his head the " good "

way. It seems he has got used to turning his head the other way " the good

way " when he sleeps at night(I check on him often during the

night with my little paranoia ) Also, I started to burp him over

my knee so he learns to hold his head properly. He doesnt like being on

his stomach so as you guys advice " tummy time " doesnt work for us

yet. My son has got one ear smaller and I think it could be due to this

disorder. Im seeing my doc this Thursday again so I want to be ready and

question everything and even get a second opinion.

Thanks for advice,

a

Hey New Member!

A couple of things to know about the Plagiocephaly community:

If you have information to give or questions to ask, don't be shy! Just jump

in and ask them!

We would also really appreciate it if you stopped by the DATABASE section

" Helmet/BandProviders " . We have compiled well over 100 entries to

date organized by state and/or foreign country. Here you'll find many cranial

orthosis providers hopefully near you! "

You'll also find lots of URL's in the Bookmarks section that will lead you to

really good and interesting webpages. If you have one to add, we'd love to hear

about it!

Then, you absolutely HAVE to stop by the Files/Photos section and check out our

cutie-pie kids! Everyone loves to see cute babies! (Even babies with crooked

noggins

So, there you go.

If you have any questions or concerns about the email list, let me know and

I'll do everything I can to help you out. In the meantime, tell us your

story and ask us your questions. It's really a great bunch of people and

they really like to help!

Oh yeah, if you REPLY to this message, you will be replying to me and the

moderators only - not the whole community! But, if you still want to REPLY to

this note, go ahead! We'll talk to you

>>>UPDATE...

I'd just like to add that several things have been added to

our files here over the months - so bookmark our homepage! You'll be going back

again and again! We now have a frequently asked Q & A file in

the " files " section (includes ways to decorate your helmet/band,

questions to

ask the doctor, and what to do when your doctor says everything is A-OK - but

you don't think so!), dozens of links to articles, and a file to help with

insurance appeals. Not to mention the over 2000 members (to date!) who are

very willing to help out with those questions!

If you're a little shy and don't want to pipe in, you can always back-track in

our message archives. There are thousands of messages there just waiting to be

dug up! Everything has a title, so things should be fairly easy to find.

Anyway, welcome to the group! Hope it is as helpful to you as it has been for

me!
