華美子﹐你都唔駛咁擔心﹐我個女初頭都係咁﹐只係瞓右邊﹐結果個頭扁咗。仲有佢條頸好似都偏向一面﹐我就帶佢睇醫生﹐醫生話佢條頸Ｄ肌肉有點緊﹐轉介去children's hospital睇physio (嗰時佢係四五個月左右)。個物理治療師叫我比baby 做多D tummy time, 一來佢個頭唔會長期响平面,二來可以鍛練佢嘅頸力。宜家我個Ｂ差不多一歲,個個都話佢個頭無咁扁, it takes time to correct.  I am thinking....it took her 6 months for her head to 偏一面, it may take another 6 months for another side.  Also, when baby is 7 month, he will turn his head both side while sleeping.  For my baby, she turns left more now and I guess that's how most babies do.  And one more thing is, high percentage of baby tends to favorite one side after they are born.  As long as you have checked that her neck muscle is alright (no torticollis), it will be fine!!  The physio told me babies' head shape can still be changed before they turn 2...so, long way to go!  Here is more information on torticollis http://www.bchealthguide.org/kba ... p22216spec/sec1.htm

如果你仲係餵緊人奶嘅話﹐因為好快會收縮﹐只係八個星期﹐我覺得ok喎！唔好唔開心啦！你餵人奶嘅時候仲有無覺得子宮收縮緊﹐慢慢嚟啦﹐唔好心急﹗

RE: 生左都成八個星期，子宮仲未完全收縮回未懷孕前的大細，有ｄ唔開心, don't worry. If you are breast feeding, it should shrink fairly quickly.

For some women, it may take months for that process to complete. For my wife, it took her approx 3 mnths to go back to about 80% of what she was before (our son is now 10+mnths).

Remember this: be careful about having sex during breastfeeding for you don't know when you going to ovulate!~ Use protection if you don't want to bear a second child so soon. As soon as your breastfeeding stops, your period shall return to normal quickly.

(*  I just happened to know someone who, because of having sex during breastfeeding, was pregnant with their second child (unexpectedly)*).

finally i have brought my son to physiotherapy...the Dr said since my son was taken out by forceps when he was born...the muscles of the neck (left side) was hurt....that's why he doesn't turn to left side...he suggested some exercise to me...

華美子

我媽教我用條大毛巾卷起zip起BB一邊背，另佢唔可以向右邊瞓。依家除左tummy time我每日都按摩佢個頭仔二百下。我BB下次去Pediatrician度打針時我會再問下佢點可以改善瞓偏頭既問題。

Hmm I wonder if your son's sleep difficulty is related to the neck issue.  Maybe you can chat about that with the physiotherapist.  

Just curious, does one of the exercises included tummy time on a ball?

I see.  Because tummy time on ball would offer more flexibilities than on the floor.  It's also a more gentle way to practice neck muscle, so that's why I asked.
