Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Doctors, hello! My baby was born nine months ago, and during the first month, I didn't notice the baby's sleeping position, always letting him sleep on his side (to the right). After 23 days, I found that his right cheek was larger and his left smaller. Later, I adjusted his sleeping position to the left side, but now at nine months, it still hasn't corrected. I really don't know what to do?History of Treatment and Effect: Never had any examination.
What Help Do You Expect: Detailed response.]
Doctor's answer:
Because newborn babies' bones are quite soft in all aspects, sleeping on one side for a long time can easily cause asymmetrical faces. To correct the symptoms of asymmetrical faces in newborns, parents also need to pay attention to frequently changing the baby's sleeping position. If the baby maintains the same sleeping position for a long time, it is very easy to develop asymmetrical faces. Generally speaking, the baby's sleeping position should be adjusted every two hours. This not only helps correct the symptoms of asymmetrical faces in newborns but also provides protection for the baby's head shape.
