Baby sleeping on one side of his head

Get ‘the perfect noggin’. My little boy was exact same, i started him in perfect noggin at 6 weeks old as I was so concerned and looking into helmetting. They have a Facebook group! I can send you pictures of my LB head and the difference is unbelievable.

I also take my little boy to a chiropractor, twice a week initially but now at once a month just to keep him comfortable. Started that at 6 weeks too, he is now 12 weeks. He only had 25% range of movement turning his head to the left, he now has full range and is already rolling front to back both ways. 🫶🏻 feel free to message me! Xx

Does your baby track OK? Will he move his head to his non preferred side when tracking something? We had our 8 week check yesterday and it's something the Dr mentioned as he wouldn't track to his non preferred side and also said it was like he was resisting her turning his head to his non preferred side. We're checking again at 12 week jabs and if the same she said we will need to be referred. Questioning torticollis, have a Google and it'll give you some things you can try at home first

I had this, took the bub to see an osteopath, they released the tension and now he sleeps both sides xx

My little boy was exactly the same, would only lie on his right side. Couldn’t turn to the left at all, as soon as I would try to turn his head it would flip straight back to the right. And wouldn’t fully lie his head down.
I was worried so spoke to the GP about it at his 8 week check and she said not to take any action yet as it may sort itself out as his neck muscles become stronger. I was skeptical but to my surprise he is now nearly 11 weeks and can suddenly turn his head freely and now lies on his left side without any encouragement. I couldn’t believe it when I went to check on him in the night and saw that he was on his left

I would speak to your GP about it at his check up/jabs and then maybe wait it out till his 12 week jabs to see if he sorts it on his own. I was just about to pay for an osteopath so glad I didn’t now!

My baby was the same and I took her to an osteopath once a week for 4 weeks. Now she is fine with her head being on either side, or straight. She was constantly on one side whilst awake or asleep before

Hello mama! :)
You need to bring your little one to an osteopath who is taking care of babies.

My baby had the same issue, he is a preferred side. I then remembered that my little sister had the same issue and the osteopath saved the game!

PS: also... to osteopath really helpee massively with the reflux issue!! xx

My lo has this, currently seeing an osteopath x

Thank you everyone, really helpful. I have made an appointment for a free consultation with an osteopath for this weekend. He does also have reflux so that’s interesting that it may help with that too. Wishing you all a lovely Xmas with your families and new babbas xxx

My 8 week old prefers to sleep on his left cheek. I must admit, the left side of his head is definitely now flatter than the right (nothing offensive though). I mentioned it to my GP and also my HV and they both said give him time to see if he tracks items freely. He can now look both ways now he's older and will turn his head if he wants to. He does still sleep on his left side through the night but I guess it's just his preferred side to sleep which is fine with me. We all have a preference don't we! Aslong I know he moves his head through the day, im happy
