Some babies are particularly accustomed to tilting their heads to one side, and parents may not take it seriously, so they have never considered corrective measures. In fact, in some cases, if a baby's head is tilted to the left normally, it may be due to abnormal bone development, including a baby's neck tilt and so on. All of these require relevant treatment measures to reduce bone development disorders. How to correct the baby's head tilting to the left?
How to correct a baby's head tilting to the left
1. First of all, parents and friends should know that if a baby has congenital muscular torticollis, as long as it can be detected in a timely manner and treated correctly and reasonably, it can be cured within one year old.
2. In daily life, the first thing to pay attention to is to help the baby correct their posture. When the baby's head is tilted to the left, the mother should let the baby lie in the opposite position on the affected side during breastfeeding, that is to say, the child should lie on the right side. When holding the baby for breastfeeding or feeding formula, the mother should also adopt the right side position more often.
3. Babies will train their neck muscles by lifting their heads, thereby correcting head deformities; When a baby is sleeping, they should adjust their sleeping position by placing a book or pillow on their sick side to prevent their head from turning back and forth.
What is the reason for the baby's head tilting to the left
Baby torticollis refers to the phenomenon of a baby's head tilting or turning to one side due to the different muscle strengths on both sides of the baby's neck. For newborns, this is a very common phenomenon.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side of the baby's neck gradually elongates, resulting in different lengths of the sternocleidomastoid muscles on both sides of the baby's neck, causing the baby to naturally tilt their head towards the shorter side of the sternocleidomastoid muscle after birth.
The baby's head tilting to the left may be due to a baby's torticollis or bone disease. Parents should focus on solving this problem to avoid further abnormal bone development. Pay more attention to dietary control and supplement sufficient nutrients, including calcium, to promote bone growth. To understand the regulation of life, do not keep the baby's head tilted for too long.
