Flat head syndrome?
My 3 month old has had silent reflux since he was born. It’s made formula feeding really difficult. We seem to have something he tolerates now but now we think he has a flat head or tightness of the neck. What do you guys think? He tilts his head to the right 95% of the time!

Yes it looks like it. We were able to get our baby referred to a physiotherapist through our health visitor. If you search online you should be able to find some exercises you can do while you wait.
Nhs physio, my gp referred us immediately for torticollis and flat head. Did it for months and it did get better, demand it’s sorted asap as it gets worse if left. They give you excercisea to do several times a day. If you google you can see what to do and start asap. Osteo did nothing for us personally. https://kidsplus.com/parent-resources/doctors-notes/infant-torticollis-stretching-techniques/
@Anna how long did it take to recover?? My lo is 8months now and I’m doing stretches regularly but I’m worried how long it will take…
Yes this looks like torticolis- my baby had it. The GP was really useless at getting us help so we ended up seeing a cranial osteopath privately which seemed to sort out the neck tightness. Her flat head has also been improving but it’s still a bit flat on one side at 7 months. Now she can move about freely in the night I am hoping it’ll continue improving.
