Hi all,
My son is 4 month old now Mashallah. He was born in november but took a long time to come through the birth canal which resulted in a sort of cone shaped head. Although now his head is not as cone shaped as it was when he was born, its still a little long from the top (the part where the head curves). It is sometimes quite noticable when he has his head bent. His doctor said that I should try putting him in different position in his crib becoz he tends to turn his face to one side when he sleeps and since his skull bones are not fully fused yet the different positions will help his head get a more rounder shape. Some aunties told me to let him play on the carpet becoz the hard surface of the floor would help to shape his head. Do you guys have any suggestions on how this can be fixed?
Yes you can help him buy making or buy the pillow for him.
It would help. Insha Allah.
I knew one situation yes you can fix it by using right pillow.
Better you make ounself by measruing which side you want to be correct so make that accordingly. If you need help You can mail me a photo of you sons head from each side. I will try to draw what saped of pillow you have to make.
Carpet thing is so very useless.
If he do curwats himself always one side then put something there in order to block that side. So he won't be able to curwat that side. Put heavy pillow beside him
Better to put pillow beside each side in order not to let her sleep in any kurwat. If you want to make his head round buy a round pillow and fix his hed in that pillow and each side a heavy pillow.
Yes does work saw with my sisters baby now no one can find out that her head was so imbalance.
I would suggest you better make yourself or I can help you too. See which side needed help and make shape accordingly. First make drawing on paper and try to make one each time try to check under his head.
I didn't understand you explained the shape of your boys head.
