We went to the doctor yesterday for J's monthly checkup and we were told that J is developing a flat head. My thoughts "A flat head?! How is that possible, we do everything right?" which of course, we are obviously missed some things.
I just couldn't believe the feelings of inadequacy that have occurred. She is rested, fed, happy... but has a flat head! How could we have missed this "crucial" part of her well-being? We have her sleeping on her back because we were told this prevents SID's, but now, this preventative measure, has caused flattening. We go outside everyday to get fresh air, but now having her lay in the stroller is making her head flat. She enjoys her bouncy chair (one of the few things that can keep her attention), but now doing that, is making her head flat.
Sometimes, as a parent, I guess you just feel like you can't win.
ya learn...if there is anything i've learned in the last few months is that i'll never stop learning about bein a good parent...when i stop learnin, then i'm a bad one..
ReplyDelete...you guys are great parents! she is so adorable. i enjoy being on the journey with ya from afar.
Avery developed a flat head as well- I think it is more prevalent these days because more babies spend so much time on their backs- but don't worry, it "popped" back out once she started spending more time on her stomach when she got a little older!
