Patient's question:
To this day, he has always been lying flat with his head always turned to the left. When he is turned 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: Regardless of any assistance: Is there any way 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 their sleeping position—on the left side, the right side, or on their back. Let the baby take turns sleeping, cycling every three days. 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 developing a flat head or a (slanted 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 prickly heat.
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 slanted head be corrected?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
