Every few days, have the baby switch from a left side to a right side, and then back to a supine position. If the left side of the baby's head is found to be flat, try to make the baby's face face face to the right when sleeping; If it is found that the right side of the baby's head is relatively flat, try to make the baby's face face face to the left when sleeping, which will have a corrective effect.

When babies lie flat on the bed, they tend to sleep on the same side; When the baby is sitting, their head will be fixed and turned to one side. Parents can try to attract their baby to look left and right at this time, and they will find that the baby has difficulty rotating their head and neck. Some children have a deviated neck in the uterus, so their facial development is not symmetrical after birth. After careful examination after birth, there is often a hard lump in the neck, about 1-3 centimeters in size, which seems to be a tumor growing on the neck! If not cured, the hard lump in the neck of older children will become a very tight tendon.
Many babies may have neck deformities, and if not corrected in a timely manner, it can have a significant impact on their future. Many people want to know what to do if their baby's neck is crooked. At this time, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination, identify the cause, and then make adjustments.
