But I guess you know this more than I do. :)MMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374988203945883069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038893173576730707.post-48621025510411317952010-04-19T16:42:29.087-04:002010-04-19T16:42:29.087-04:00The doc. originally said that if we holder her or ...The doc. originally said that if we holder her or make her use her "good" side then the flatter side probably wouldn't get worse and would heal on it's own by four months....we did everything we were told and then some but it's gotten worse. AND the limitation of movement although has improved slightly is more noticeable as she gets older.

And I don't know anything about torticollis but wouldn't be surprised if it's like every other damn thing doctors freak us out with... meaning that, most of the time, these things improve on their own, especially as a baby gets older and stronger. I hope so, anyway... not being able to lay a baby down all day except during naps is insane! :)<br /><br />I wonder if infant massage would help, since that link says the condition is caused by tightness of certain muscles?MMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374988203945883069noreply@blogger.com
