What are the reasons for a 5-month-old baby's neck tilting to the left?

Patient's question:

My little granddaughter is now 5 months old. When she had her 100th-day photo taken, we noticed her neck tilting to the left. The family members would watch her while she slept and gently guide her to sleep straight.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it may be related to congenital torticollis, and it can be corrected through minimally invasive surgery. Neonatal amniotic fluid infection means that the fetus is hypoxic in the uterus, and the hypoxia leads to relaxation of the anal sphincter, causing fetal feces to be expelled and pollute the amniotic fluid. Once amniotic fluid pollution is detected, it indicates fetal intrauterine hypoxia. Amniotic fluid infection can cause intellectual disability and malformations in the fetus, so it is important to avoid the occurrence of infection as much as possible.
