Tummy Time Swing helps with plagiocephaly

[Guest guest]

My son had torticollis which went undiagnosed until we noticed a

bossing of his forehead and flat spot on the left side. This condition

was what led us to take notice of a product " wingbo " . It holds the

baby in a prone position so he can stregthen neck and upper body

muscles. I would like to get the word out there to the many parents

who are looking all over the internet in search of products that may

help. I myslef had sent off to New Zealand for a positioner that I

thought might work. When it is your child you will try anything.

wingbo is being used by PT's around the country and in Canada in cases

of low muscle tone. In Germany (where the swing was developed and

made), babies are checked at each well baby visit for torticollis. My

friend's newborn was checked at the third well baby visit and the doc

immediately recommended therapy for him. I agree with the idea of a

check at each well baby visit and am off to sign the petition.

Thank you for inclusion.

I found this online for 199.00. Too expensive for us. Then I found

an article saying to check ebay.de ... I did and lo and behold there

are a ton of these for sale for around 50-70 dollars. 79.90 for a

brand new one. Yes the whole website is in german and you have to e-

mail the sellers and ask what they would charge for shipping to the

US but if you have a paypal account and don't want to pay an arm and

a leg for one this is a good tip. I used Google translate to e-mail

the seller in german and to translate the pages.

Good luck.
