Flat Head

Since day one, Beckham has always favored laying his head to the left (if your looking at him). This has just recently caused some issues for him (more so me). I've been noticing more and more that the back, right side of his cute head is becoming flat. Now, most babies get a flat spot on the back of their head because they are always laying down. But, like I mentioned, Becks is only flat on the back right portion of his head. So, after talking myself in and out of how concerned I should be I took him to the doctor. She noticed right away the difference between the two sides of his head and the fact that no matter his position...laying flat, being held or on his tummy, he always favored looking to his right. I was SO worried that she was going to tell me he needed a helmet. But she said that he is most likely going to need physical therapy because the muscles in his neck on the one side are not fully developed, as he has only favored looking and laying one direction. So my little man starts his therapy evaluations next week. We have two appts. set up for Wed. and Fri. where someone will come to our house and play with Beckham and evaluate his movement and what not. Then when we get back from UT we'll start weekly physical therapy sessions (in our home) until his little neck is doing what it should. The hope is that by fixing his neck the flat spot on his head will fix itself. My fingers are crossed! I'll keep you all posted.

Just some pictures that show his cute little head
