Torticollis/flat head

Erin • Mother of two perfect little girls and one angel baby.

Let’s talk torticallis! Aka twisted neck. My sweet rainbow baby Madison was born May 11th via induction. About 14 days ago I noticed that she really only had her head tilted down and to the left. At her 2 month appointment her doctor referred her to a physical therapy, as the top left side of her head is getting flat. Where I live when they refer you they call for the appointment, no call yet. Referral was made on the 11th. I however am a technician at a physical therapy office, when I had my boss examine her she diagnosed her with torticollis and informed me of some stretching I can do and more tummy time while we wait for PT (my clinic doesn’t do babies).

I am so scared Madi will end up having to wear a helmet because no matter what I try she keeps putting her head to the left and down. My question is are there any other mamas who have experienced this with their children? Her 4 year old sister did not have this.
