❕Have you taken a good look at your babies head yet?!❕Starting within the first month of life, parents should be monitoring their babies heads for the development of any flat spots!
🧐The best way to take a look at your babies head is from the top down using their nose as a reference (Birds Eye View). If you notice any flattening on either side (asymmetry) or widening of the sides and flattening on the back then it’s time to call up your local peds physio! If caught early these flat spots resolve fantastically with physiotherapy treatment but if caught late (after 6 months) the odds of full resolution reduce significantly and that’s when devices such as helmets become the best form of treatment depending on the severity.
🩵 Our advice? Start checking your babies heads early and if you have concerns don’t wait and see - seek a professional assessment by a pediatric physiotherapist as soon as you notice something!
