Hello,

Our daughter, , was diagnosed with torticollis (left side) and

plagiocephaly. When she was delivered her head was shaped like a cone - she had

been facing down for awhile with her head resting/stuck in the birth canal. The

cone shape went down but left her head mis-shapen. At her 2 month check up the

pediatrician referred us to a physical therapist. We are doing exercises to

correct the tort. and have been educated on other ways to keep off of her

head. We were told that at the 4 month check we could talk about the plag. and

whether or not a helmet is necessary. Is there a reason to wait until the 4

month check up?

Although we are trying to work on tummy time and do other things off of the head

(there are only so many....) my daughter loves to be on her back to look and

scoot around. I hate denying her this joy! Thanks for any insight/helpful info.

for us.
