Its called Plagiocephaly, Look it Up!

Well We went to visit the great people at Cranial Technologies in Dallas, and Park will be getting the Doc Band January 5th. It will be worn 23 hours a day for the next month or so. He did so great, no crying, no fussing!! Parker's plagio came from being wedged in the birth canal the last trimester, so he got the short end of the stick from the beginning. Oh well, just a little cranial remolding is all we need ,and he should be back to a "normal" head shape soon. More and more babies are having asymetrical head shapes due to sleeping on their backs instead of stomachs. Back sleeping is definitely a plus to preventing SIDS, but since babies heads are still so soft it can misform their heads very quickly. Parker's was already out of whack at birth, and sleeping on his back made it worse! Nevertheless we will paint our band super cute and who knows he may even get a spot on the 2011 Plagio calendar! Watch out world Parker may be the new face of plagiocephaly!!
pics coming soon.
