What should I do if the baby's head and face direction are wrong?

Patient's question:

At 5 months, my baby's head is tilted to the left with the face right, the left side of her face is larger than the right side. Normally, her head moves quickly and freely, and even when she's moving rapidly, you can see the back of her head. How should she sleep? Since she's breastfed, she tends to face the side she's nursing on.

Doctor's answer:

You can alternate feeding from both sides, allowing the baby's head to also alternate sides. It is recommended to relax and not be too tense, as the baby is small and most changes in position can be adjusted. Eating more vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich foods can improve milk quality.
The above advice is for the question "How to deal with a 5-month-old baby's head tilting to the left and face turning to the right?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
