How to Avoid Flat Head and Delays in Your Baby's First Year (English Edition)

How to Avoid Flat Head and Delays in Your Baby's First Year (English Edition)

Since 1994, a new epidemic has emerged. That year, the Back to Sleep campaign began urging parents to put babies to sleep on their backs in an effort to combat Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Since, the incidence of flat head syndrome (aka plagiocephapy or brachiocephaly) has risen by over 600%. 

With babies spending so much time on their backs, more and more parents see a flat spot emerging. If head flattening does not resolve naturally by two to three months of age, it can require expensive helmet treatment, which costs an average of $4,000. If a helmet is needed, a baby must wear it all day and all night for months.

When left untreated, the changes caused by head flattening – shifting and distortion of the face, ears, and head – can become permanent.

This book teaches parents exactly what they need to do to prevent permanent changes. Inside you'll find effective techniques you can use at home to minimize the need for expensive, uncomfortable treatments like helmets and surgery. The book includes a comprehensive exercise program, tested and refined with over 10,000 babies in our clinic.

When they come to her in the first few months of life, Dr. Yvette Flores (PT, DPT, CSCS) has a 100% success rate of avoiding helmets for babies. Her refined, specialized techniques have a 100% rate of avoiding surgery, too.
