How May Physiotherapy Aid in Achieving a Round Head?

 Infants are often born with a flat head, which is known as 'plagiocephaly.' The severity of your child's plagiocephaly and how long it takes to resolve it will depend on the type and severity of their head shape. If left untreated, infants can develop permanent brain damage. Fortunately, there are many ways of physio Windsor to help correct this condition before it becomes too late!

Tummy Time

It is important to lay your baby down on a soft surface while they are awake, such as their mat or a blanket. You can place toys around them so that they have something to look at and hold their attention.

The infant will begin moving their head from side to side and forward as well as back. This helps develop the muscles in their neck, which will help them later on when it comes time for tummy time!

Switching up baby's sleep position

• Switch up the baby's sleep position. If your infant is in the habit of sleeping on his back, try switching it up to the side or stomach. This can help prevent flat spots from developing in their head, which is especially important if you have an infant with a severe flat spot.
• Use a firm pillow. If you use a soft or fluffy pillow when putting your newborn down for bed, there's a good chance they'll move around while sleeping and end up developing uneven pressure points on their head. Instead, opt for something harder like memory foam that will offer support but won't change shape as easily when your little one moves around at night (which is often).
• Use a bean bag or wedge under the mattress where the head rests when lying down—this raises the top part of their body off of the mattress so that it doesn't sink into it over time! This prevents any uneven pressure from forming between their scalp area and mattress surface beneath them when sleeping."

  

Encouraging Side-lying

• Side-lying is a recommended position for newborns. It is a good position to get them to sleep in and also to play in, but it should be done on a firm surface and not on any soft surfaces such as pillows or cushions. This way, there will be no risk of suffocation.
• You can try placing your child's feet flat against their tummy when they are lying on their side by doing this: First, make sure that you put a pillow under his/her head so that it does not fall forward when sleeping or playing. Then place another pillow just below the knee joint so that the legs are bent at about 90 degrees angle with each other; this will help keep him/her from rolling over onto their backs too soon during sleep time which could cause some problems later on down the road when he/she starts crawling etc...

Holding the newborn

• Hold the newborn in a cradling position.
• Use a baby carrier, if you have one, to hold your infant close to your chest while you walk and talk with him or her. This will help to keep their head in a neutral position.
• Place the baby on your lap as much as possible when feeding and playing with them. The more time they spend sitting upright at this stage, the better it will be for their development.

You can also try supporting his head with one hand while stroking his face with the other hand when he is lying on his back or tummy so that he does not roll over but only moves from side to side slowly and carefully.
