We're just starting on our plagio journey. So relieved to find mom's with experience! My lo is 3 months old. We have our first consult at the Oakbrook Cranial Tech office next week and we are scheduled with a pediatric neuro surgeon in 3 weeks.

In the mean time, we are repositioning like crazy! Does anyone have advice for this? Are there any sleep positioners that work? I tried the wedges and my son was able to grab a wedge and get it in his mouth. I'm not comfortable with that for nighttime sleep.

Thanks everyone!

Do you have your daughter sleep at night in the noggin nest? Nighttime is our biggest struggle.

Thanks for your response!!

It isn't easy! We used the boppy noggin nest in any kind of bouncy chair or car

seat and a sleep positioner ONLY during daytime naps. We did not have anything

in the crib at night, but did lots of head turning. Our baby was diagnosed with

severe plagio at 2 months old and we did repositioning for three months (until

we finally gave in to the band, and fyi, I am totally happy we did). BUT, our

baby had left torticollis. What seemd to work best for us was doing the neck

stretches three times per day to our baby to help eliminate the torticollis so

he didn't constantly favor that side. We hung all his mobiles in his crib on the

opposite side of the flat head so he would look at them. And, we laid him tummy

down on our chests a lot to help strech his neck and keep him off the back of

his head. After work each evening, we took turns in shifts, first on daddy's

chest, then on mine. Our little one hated tummy time so getting him to nap on

our chest was the best way to keep him off his back and still get in some

awesome neck stretches. We tried our best and got him from 18mm down to 13mm

over a three month period. At 5 months old he was still at 13mm so we opted for

the starband and now he has a perfectly shaped head!! His ears are still offset

but that's okay. He's perfect in every other way. Good luck!
