Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi , Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I can completely understand your feelings, because you are a good mom who is concerned about her son. As director of the school, though, I have to be concerned about everybody, and that gets complicated. Every year we have children with a variety of allergies. It would not be realistic to expect parents to find Star Child snacks that are peanut, dairy, gluten, kiwi, strawberry, apple, cinnamon, and egg free, but that's what we would have to do to accomodate all the allergies we have in children in our school this year. The reason we make a bigger deal about peanuts is because for many children that allergy is actually life-threatening (i.e., the child has an anaphylactic reaction to contact with peanuts), and in some cases the child reacts just to being around the peanuts, not necessarily eating them. On the other hand, our dairy allergy kids tend to have either gastrointestinal or behavioral reactions to dairy, and they usually have to ingest it to be affected. I'm not saying that it isn't difficult and debilitating, just that, in my experience it isn't life-threatening. So at this time, peanuts is the only " forbidden " food on our snack list. However, many snacks that come for Star Child day do turn out to be dairy free, so Ethan is able to have the Star Child snack at least some of the time.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 congratulations on your little one. I've heard of a sock filled with rice or stuffing that you sew to the pajamas behind one shoulder so she's forced to tip to the other side. Also make sure there are interesting objects to attract her to the side you want - including when she's in the car seat, playing etc. And make sure she gets lots of tummy time. Even if she doesn't like it, the more you do, the more she will tolerate and it will help strengthen her upper body and keep her off her head. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > My daughter (who is now 4) had torticollis and plagiocephaly and > required a helmet.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Perhaps try a rolled up blanket under her back under the sheet. That was a suggestion my Orthosist gave us when we were try to reposition. Good Luck. What should I do? My daughter (who is now 4) had torticollis and plagiocephaly and required a helmet. She is fine now, but I just had another child who has a slight case of torticolllis and prefers 1 side when she sleeps and her head is already misshaped. SHe is only 10 weeks old and I want to do everything to avoid the helmet again. I have tried propping her on her side with a positioner and she always ends up in the same position. Any advice?
