Patient's question:
Semi-monthly illness description: My son's neck is a bit crooked; he likes to sleep with his head tilted. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Haven't consulted a doctor; Desired help: Looking for good methods to help him stop tilting his head.Doctor's answer:
Mother Lure Method: If your baby always sleeps on one side, you can switch sleeping positions with your baby. This means you should sleep on the other side of the bed, as babies tend to face their mothers when sleeping. If you sleep on the other side, your baby will also turn to that side. It is also recommended that mothers frequently change sleeping positions with their babies to help your baby develop a habit of not preferring to sleep on only one side.Object Lure Method: If your baby often sleeps with one side of their face turned, you or other family members can hang some small toys on the other side of the baby's bed. It's best to choose toys that your baby enjoys playing with and can make sounds when shaken. The height should be within reach of your baby's hands. When the parents are sleeping, they can teach the baby to turn their head to the other side to play with those toys. This will help your baby develop the habit of turning to the other side.
