Plagiocephaly

my baby has a flat head
a.k.a. wonky head syndrome

I can’t remember who first mentioned it, it could have been our MACH nurse on one of the checkups, or maybe it was just a friend in passing. Reflecting on it, I think it was an off handed comment along the lines of “she has a bit of a flat spot, you might want to encourage her to face the other way when she sleeps”. What I heard at the time though, was “your child’s head is going to be severely deformed forever, and you should spend days googling it and worrying”. And I took the latter advice and spent days googling it. And worrying.
