what is normal head shape and what is brachy?

Hello all- i am wondering if anyone knows of a website or photos to

take a look at side profiles of what is normal head shape and what is

brachy (did i spell right- plagio across the back). My son 6 months

has his crown up higher- not as rounded at the back and his forehead

seems to 'protrude " a bit. I went through plagio/tort (did 2 helmets

and 1.5 years of biweekly CST) with my other son who still has facial

assymetry and i think i was so focused on preventing the assymetry

that in the first few weeks every day i evaluated which side to lay

him on and then started shifting more to him being on the back (just

thinking about the eyes vs. an actual spot on the back of his head

being flat- how i did this i can only attribut the the 'trauma' of

having dealt with the assymetry issue and not seeing the forest for

the trees). Anyways- this is where we are at now and i desperately

want not to go back to doing helmets etc. however i don't want to be

sittting here feeling i missed the boat for him (too). AMy husband

has just said his head is 'different shaped' Any pictures out there to

see? thanks all, cheryl
