Patient's question:
Up to now, he has always been lying flat with his head always to the left. When he is tilted to the right, he himself turns back to the original position. Now it has been noticed that his head is a bit off. About his previous treatment and effectiveness: No matter what kind of assistance was provided, what can be done to improve...Doctor's answer:
Three to four months ago, it was possible to sleep through the night, but if it's really not possible, we can only use an orthopedic helmet to help the baby correct it. The baby should sleep on the left side, right side, and on their back, rotating each day, with a three-day cycle. This way, the baby's head will be very well-shaped.Babies under one year old need careful care for their head contours, as this is related to their lifelong health. Parents should be more interested in preventing the baby from sleeping with a (asymmetrical head) or a (flat head).
At three months, you can start using a pillow for the baby. Buy a baby-specific pillow (recommended price above 30 yuan) and prepare a few pillowcases or use small towels as substitutes. This is because babies sweat a lot on their heads and need to maintain hygiene to prevent heat rash.
Using a soft pillow will prevent the baby's head from becoming too flat.
The above advice is for the question "Can a four-month-old baby's head be corrected if it's sleeping crooked?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
