Re: Is it true that higher birthweight babies are more susceptible to plagio?

[Guest guest]

Hello,You are absolutely correct. Higher instances of plagio and /or torticollis do coincide with heavier birth weights and small wombs because there's not enough space-- similar to multiple births. In my case, I had to have a c-section to deliver my firstborn because of his size--8lbs, 12oz., but it was my smaller baby, a girl--8lbs., who had torticollis and plagio. I did notice though, that she felt stuck in a weird position in the womb, very different from the experience with my son.From: rubylou77 <rubylou77@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Thu, March 17, 2011 10:55:07 PMSubject: Is it true that higher birthweight babies are more susceptible to plagio?

My son was born at 9lbs, 10oz. In addition to the lack of education re: this disorder, could the weight have been a contributing factor?
