We had all sort of worries about our newborn!
Mainly, he almost constantly turned his head only to one side - waking, sleeping, all the time. We knew babies could do this, but he was so extreme we were worried he might need physio for severe torticollis. It also gave him a flat head on one side - even using anti flat head pillows - he just turned out of them! We were worried we would have to get a shaping helmet which wouldn't work! But he grew out of it and his hair grew well over his head so it is not even noticeable now!
He also screwed his hands up all the time - we were worried that the scratch mitts we used (he was constantly scratching and poking) - had prevented normal development, but not he case. Time righted everything.
Hi Andrea,
How old is your son now? I like to use your story in PP, could you email me your full name, age, where you are from and the name and age of your son-along with a pic of you and him to me at liz.stansfield@magicalia.com?
Many thanks,
Liz
