Question

How do you prevent this from happening ?

Answer

You absolutely CAN prevent flat spots on baby’s head that progress to this degree of misshapenness- if baby is preferring sleeping/feeding one side or has limited range of motion when turning the head, baby needs to see a knowledgeable chiropractor immediately because it’s likely the neck muscles are constricted (this is common and can happen in utero or during birth). Pediatricians often recommend stretching, physical therapy, and repositioning but those alone are NOT enough to remedy this issue- there needs to be realignment of the spine for release of the fascia and rehab exercises tailored to baby’s specific needs.

Answer

Chiropractic care is often covered by insurance and every baby can benefit greatly from an adjustment after birth. Ensuring baby’s spine is aligned and not impeding muscle function is the best way to prevent misshaping of the head- helmets are not necessary if you catch it early enough. Pay attention to baby’s preferences and any subtle cues that something is not right.
