We took him to a chiropractor who specialized in babies and it completely cleared it up where he will turn both ways. We also did physical therapy which didn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145455 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 19:38:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2145455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: hahaha yep I have the 2 try and I'm done.....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145453 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 19:37:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2145453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Yeah I do exercises daily mainly during diaper changes....it isn't stiff to me and during the day she shows no signs....buy we go to 4 month check up next week I'm going to bring it up and maybe he can refer us again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145379 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 18:16:24 +0000 birdofafeather 2145379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: we did the same thing as @oliviaoblivia: and the ped wasn't concerned and she corrected and had no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145377 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 18:15:18 +0000 gotkimchi 2145377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pt recommended a towel under one corner of her mattress so it was harder to lay that way and that helped. I also waited until she was asleep and went in and tried to reposition her but I had a 3 try rule. After 3 tries I said screw it cause we all needed to sleep. I stressed and stressed about this but honestly everything is fine now so don't worry too much :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145337 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:41:05 +0000 twodoghouse 2145337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: If you're still concerned, could you go back to physical therapy? Do you still do exercises with her? Can you feel if the neck muscles feel stiff? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145256 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:24:16 +0000 FaithFertility 2145256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Thanks me too! I switch that position every other day and she will face the wall if need be to lay on that side...lol During the day I notice no preference when playing/rolling<br /> So yes, I am hoping it will even out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145252 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:16:15 +0000 twodoghouse 2145252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our physical therapist suggested actually switching which end you put the feet vs head. Make sure you put her so when you walk in the door, she should roll away from her preferred side to see you. Does that make sense?</p> <p>DD went through therapy for her tort and she has full range of motion and no flat spot, but I can tell she still favors one side when she's tired or when she falls asleep in her car seat. I think since she's rolling there's only so much you can do, but I noticed once DD was rolling to her tummy a lot, then sitting, her neck muscles evened out a lot on their own. (We were in therapy too, but once she was sitting it improved rapidly!) I hope you notice the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145240 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:57:57 +0000 FaithFertility 2145240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: Yeah I stress too, thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145217 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:41:01 +0000 PurplePeony 2145217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: my DD did the same thing and nothing I tried worked to correct it. It kind of stressed me out, but as soon as she started flipping over and sleeping on her tummy instead of her back, it evened out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145210 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:31:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2145210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: huh I will try that...can't hurt :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145147 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:47:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2145147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: she adjusted to looking the other way within a week. For naps I'd sometimes put a headband with a big flower on it and position it so it would prevent her from turning right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145133 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:33:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2145133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Did DD2 grow out of it? I just wonder if it still hurts her to lay that that way PT says no but I'm not sure!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145120 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:27:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2145120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ohhh I can but she will.move it right back or wake up<br /> I do that too, but she will just face to her right and face the wall she is stubborn !!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145119 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:26:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2145119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you put her head in the other direction? DD2 had a mild preference towards the right and that was the way she could see me from her sleeper. I now put her down with her head where her feet use to go and she now looks left to see me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145115 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:22:20 +0000 FaithFertility 2145115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I can see that pissing her off.....lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145113 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:21:45 +0000 FaithFertility 2145113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: No, but I thought this would be like it...maybe we will </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145107 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:19:32 +0000 Mamaof2 2145107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she can roll it might be hard to get her to stay on one side</p> <p>Have you tried a wedge?</p> <p>[attach=4342/15/nmv4f4.308x307.31tV8wPkcJL.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-positioning-1#post-2145106 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:17:45 +0000 FaithFertility 2145106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wasn't to sure where to post this....<br /> DD had torticollis from birth and favored her right side, we went to PT and have since exited, but when she sleeps they say she just now has a habit of sleeping facing her right, no matter what I do...</p> <p> At night Pedi just said let her do what she wants but for naps try to keep her to her left...as yo can see nothing is working? Any suggestions? She can roll so it is hard and I tried the Turtle Cap thingy..hahah she screamed all day long<br /> TIA!!!<br /> Photo shows a rolled up blanket under crib sheet </p> [attach=3878/15/nmv4d4.337x600.20150415_151342.jpg]
