The cousins had children last month, but because they lived in their hometown, they didn't have time to visit in time. But when it came time for the full moon wine, our whole family was present to congratulate. Arrived at the cousin's house, found that the baby has fallen asleep, but the neck is a little crooked, I asked the cousin, she said that in recent days also found this, the child always crooked neck to sleep, she feels very cute and cute, but also afraid of problems, but thinking that the child is not yet full moon, how to go to the hospital after the full moon. I listened to her, and then learned about the child's feeding methods and habits, the initial judgment should not be a big problem, but I advised her, for the sake of safety, if the child is still sleeping with his head tilted these days, it is better to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
In fact, many children have the performance of sleeping with their heads crooked, but the mother must judge as soon as possible whether the child is crooked due to his own habits, or pathological torticollis, if it is the latter, you need to take the child to the hospital immediately, otherwise it will affect the child's development.
1． Habitual tilting of the head
If the baby always sleeps with his head tilted because of habits, the mother should also take measures to help the baby correct, because sleeping with the head tilted for a long time will cause the baby to tilt his head, the size of the face and so on. Generally, the baby always tilts his head, which is related to the mother's feeding method, if the mother always feeds with one breast and holds the child to sleep with one arm, it will make the baby tilt his head. There is also that some babies always like to sleep on one side, and after a long time, the baby is also prone to tilting his head. At this time, the mother should help the baby to make corrections, pay attention to the baby's sides to sleep as much as possible, and help the baby to do some movements that can move the neck to improve the baby's crooked head.
2. Pathological torticollis
If the baby's head is tilted because of pathological torticollis, the child's neck will be relatively stiff, and when the baby's neck is massaged, the child will cry because of pain, and there will be a situation of large and small faces. Pathological torticollis occurs mainly because the baby is in the wrong position in the mother's belly, or because of a neck injury during natural childbirth. If the mother finds that the baby is pathological torticollis, take the child to the hospital as soon as possible, because the best treatment time is within 6 months of the baby, if it is more than 12 months, it is difficult to improve.
