Flattening
KimGuest ·
Hi everyone.
I have a question.
My little girl spent three weeks in the hospital after birth. It was so severe that she couldn’t even get out of bed. Because the window was on one side, she developed a preferred position. It was so chronic that she refused to look to the other side. This caused a flattening. Now, two months later, we’re still working hard to get rid of it... Tummy time, turning her head while sleeping, placing toys on the non-preferred side, etc. But now I notice little difference. There’s some progress in her preference, but not in the flattening. Will that flattening ever get better?

That's really unfortunate, they should have been more careful at the hospital. There are side-sleeping pillows available. I'd definitely go to a physiotherapist who specializes in this. Maybe the CB can advise you on this.
Hope the flattening will improve, good luck!
