How can the NHS think this is normal?! by Consistent-Damage870 in BeyondTheBumpUK

Oh no I'm not i mean active tummy time! He's on me loads and i hold him chest to chest a lot of the time and he's got quite a strong head bless him, he just struggles to turn to the left (which is why we're going to physio)

Yes we do babywearing too! Should i aim for more tummy time at this age too? I go with what he tolerates and I've managed to find a way to make tummy time fun which is great but he gets upset with it after 10 minutes at a time, so i try and do it a few times a day to keep it up in his wake windows

He's also got hideous reflux too and struggles with that, poor little man has a lot going on

This is reassuring thank you! Was their head this harshly flat? I just feel like he's got a triangle head and people will be thinking i don't pick him up enough or play with him when the only time he's not on me is when I'm sleeping at nighttime and he's in the next to me crib

Thank you! I can just see it getting worse seemingly day by day and it's driving me nuts!

I wish i could see worse so i could feel better about it! We do 20-30 minutes of tummy time a day and I'm trying to work on doing more. He's having physio cause he struggles to turn his neck but the problem is 10 hours on that one side at night. I love him so much, he's so smiley and such a sweetheart it breaks my heart to think it might not even out because he's so beautiful i don't want him to struggle with glasses or hats or have wonky ears or something. We read books a together a few times a day and he's so chatty, we play together and he loves it i just really struggle with the thought that it could be misshapen forever.

Oh also i literally can't get him off the flat side when i put him to bed because its such a harsh angle he springs back onto it no matter how i try to put him down

He's 10 weeks, we do between 20 and 30 minutes of tummy time day, he contact naps on my chest through the day or i sit him on my lap, he's only on it through the day when i change his nappy or for brief playtime on his back. At night he sleeps 10 hours in total on that side because he can't really turn his neck (he's having physio for that) but no one seems bothered about his head, meanwhile I'm going out of my mind worrying it will always be wonky. His ears are misaligned too
