Re: How long after delivery ..
actually no…these are not extreme examples.
I could post pictures of extreme examples but frankly I don’t want to do that; those that want to look at those pics can search them out.
the examples that I have posted are very, very close to those that I have seen in real life…in fact at least two have been even worse…amongst my friends…particularly those that were born and brought up abroad and didn’t believe in following advice that they were given.
and not only those kids born with forceps have oddly shaped heads as a result…some happen just because the baby was laid on one side too often…others happen because the parents were too scared and didn’t understand that they could do something to alter the shape.
and yes…you’d think that parents would do something about it if they saw their kid’s head flattening out but like I said…some don’t know that they can do something and others will just say, “My baby is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever made and nobody can tell me otherwise.”
nobody is saying that an expectant mother should be “worrying” about this…we’re simply suggesting that she should be prepared and knowledgeable.
I guess I’ll just keep my comments on shaping the bridge of the baby’s nose and the area between the nose and upper lip to myself.
