Like Chelle said, a baby's head is very "moldable" and will naturally go back to its original shape. Just keep doing what you're doing and be patient. Oh, and give yourself a break! :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066697917016668769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-49960140703639190622008-01-22T12:31:00.000-05:002008-01-22T12:31:00.000-05:00I had some issues like that with both my girls.

We did some exercises with our girls that encouraged them to turn their heads different ways when lying down (they both had torticollis, which made it difficult for them to turn their heads in one direction). Turn her head gently to touch her chin to her should and hold it there for a few seconds. Then turn it so that her ear touches her shoulder. We did that both ways several times a day, and we saw improvement right away in the way they turned they heads. You might give that a try--it's easy and can't hurt (even though Sadie might not like it).Sarah and Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008497223053241492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-44349489881604980512008-01-18T12:32:00.000-05:002008-01-18T12:32:00.000-05:00Alice, Sadie is beautiful!

So every night after a bath or nap or whatever she would massage her head with her hands softly. Don't you just love the quads website? I don't see how they do it with four but the "helmets" are so funny on those babies. I'm sure Sadie baby will be fine!Soozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605252881095824120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-3033916022487048462008-01-18T10:09:00.000-05:002008-01-18T10:09:00.000-05:00Don't beat yourself up Alice, although I would do ...Don't beat yourself up Alice, although I would do the same....<BR/>You are a great mom and everything will work out one way or another.

Lots of babies do that, and once she learns to enjoy other sleeping positions, it will straighten itself out...a baby's skeleton is "moldable" for quite sometime before the bones start to harden, so she will most likely outgrow this before that happens! Hang in there!Oh---and her head doesn't look that bad to me?!?!?Blessings All Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050642030496269365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-70432678627247052232008-01-17T21:24:00.000-05:002008-01-17T21:24:00.000-05:00Seriously Alice - don't feel bad.

Emma is 2 months overdue for her 1 year shots. I don't trust vaccines and I want her completely well before her next round :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-53151326158218058582008-01-17T18:06:00.000-05:002008-01-17T18:06:00.000-05:00aunt Alice you are a wonderful mom.

I'm sure she'll be fine...yo...What sweet pictures! I'm sure she'll be fine...you're an awesome Mom! We know you'll do whatever it takes for your little ones. I'm having an issue right now about sleeping too. She sleeps fine on her back at night, but during the day for naps she wakes up almost as soon as i put her down...unless she's on her stomach. And she likes to rub her face on the mattress pad and fall back asleep that way! argh! So I only let her sleep in my presence and only on her tummy once or twice a day. I'm totally paranoid about the SIDS issue, but she can't sleep on my lap all day!<BR/><BR/>MelanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655999.post-20441246134735011902008-01-17T11:22:00.000-05:002008-01-17T11:22:00.000-05:00*hug* don't beat yourself up, Alice. you were tryi...*hug* don't beat yourself up, Alice. you were trying to keep her clean and safe from herself!
