RE: [ozmidwifery] Flat spots

[Nicole Carver]

Hi Kirsten, It is good for baby to have tummy play each day when awake. Also try putting babe's head at opposite ends of cot each time they go down for a sleep, as they usually turn their head toward the middle of the room, changing ends will then make them turn their head to the opposite side (works for some anyway!). In most cases they resolve. However, the head circumference needs to be monitored to ensure adequate growth is occuring. A Maternal and Child Health Nurse should be consulted, and perhaps check the head circumference every three months or so.

It’s quite pronounced. Does any body have any info on this? And what can I suggest she tries to combat this?   Love & Light Kirsten BMid student, Darwin       ~What you waiting for?~ Gwen Stefani
