What should I do if my baby's head is tilted when sleeping?

Many careful parents will find that their baby's head is tilted when sleeping. In fact, there is no need to worry, because this will not affect the baby's appearance. If you want to prevent it, then pay attention to the baby's sleeping posture and help them correct it.

1. First of all, observe more and detect flat head syndrome early. Always observe the left and right sides, front and back sides of the baby's head. When it is less than 6 mm, it can be corrected normally as long as the sleeping position is changed frequently. When it is between 6 mm and 12 mm, it is moderate flat head syndrome and treatment is recommended. If it exceeds 12 mm, treatment should be carried out immediately. Generally speaking, when we observe with the naked eye that the baby's head is tilted when sleeping, the baby's flat head syndrome asymmetry has exceeded 6 mm, and we should consider artificial correction.

2. Secondly, early prevention can prevent your baby from suffering from flat head syndrome. You can use artificial methods, such as changing the baby's sleeping position frequently, not letting him stare at his favorite direction for a long time, and teasing him more when you have time. You can also use a more convenient and effective method, such as using an Anqu baby posture-correcting mattress, to establish the correct sleeping position for the baby as soon as he is born, so that the head is evenly pressurized and the occurrence of flat head syndrome is prevented.

3. Prevention and correction of baby's flat head syndrome should be started early, generally within 6 months. Otherwise, once the baby's skull is fully developed, it will not be able to recover on its own.
