Patient's question:
My baby is just over 3 months old, and since birth, he has been sleeping with his head consistently tilted to one side. When I try to straighten it, it returns to the same position shortly after. What should I do? Thank you.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: Can he be corrected? If not, what potential negative effects could this have on his future?
Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described for the child, it is normal for infants to frequently look in one direction due to their interest in new things, although it may easily lead to an uneven head shape. There is absolutely no significant problem. It is recommended that you first change your position to make the child always look in your direction, or find some toys with sounds placed in another direction to attract the child's attention. Finally, you can make two small, long pillows to help correct the child's posture.
