How to correct a four-month-old baby's head sleeping sideways

In fact, many parents should pay more attention to the baby's sleeping problem when taking care of the baby, because parents all hope that the baby has a good head shape, which is more effective for his future growth and image. However, some parents found that the baby's head was tilted when he was four months old, so we need to take some corrective measures.

Since flat heads in babies are mostly related to unreasonable sleeping postures, for babies with flat heads, the bad sleeping postures should be corrected in time and corresponding treatment measures should be taken. There is still hope for recovery. The younger the age, the easier it is to correct. Best done within one year of age. The specific measures are as follows:

(1) Change body position frequently: This is an effective and convenient way to correct your baby’s flat head. Parents are required to consciously place their children's heads before and after they fall asleep and choose the most appropriate sleeping position to help correct flat heads. For example, if the patient has a "right flat head", he should lie on his left side; if the patient has a "left flat head", he should lie on his right side; if the patient has a "back-of-the-occipital flat head", he can lie on his left side alternately, but he should not lie on his back anymore. However, we should remind everyone that this method will affect the baby's sleep quality to varying degrees and also test the energy of the parents.

(2) Pillow correction method (physical therapy): For older babies who are accustomed to a certain sleeping position, the sleeping position corrected by parents is often not maintained for long, and the baby often falls back into the original sleeping position during sleep. For uncooperative babies, pillows can be used to correct them. Place a pillow on one side so that they cannot turn their heads.

If you discover in time that your baby's head is tilted when sleeping, you must take these corrective methods and measures, then you can better help the baby correct the head shape. Therefore, when parents face this problem, they might as well correct it according to the methods introduced above. Naturally, it is also healthier and more beneficial to the baby's future growth and development.
