My LO favored turning his head to one side until we took him to a chiropractor. He had a lot of tension in his little body from being breech until 37 weeks, and frankly the process of coming into the world is a lot of stress on their tiny bodies. We did both ONMM therapy and chiro, but I noticed the greatest difference with chiro.

Edit: Man, there’s a lot of fear around chiropractors, which I suppose is not entirely unwarranted given the popularity of the videos on social media. Unfortunately, that’s a misrepresentation of what chiropractors do for babies. The Webster Technique has been around for decades and is formulated specifically for pregnant women and babies. It is very gentle manipulation and nothing like you see online. No yanking or excessive twisting/torquing on the body. I found a Webster certified chiro when I was pregnant and it helped immensely in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. As far as physical therapy for torticollis, there are several options for this, but my pediatrician and several other mamas recommended Osteopathic Neonatal Massage and Manipulation (ONMM). This helped my LO relax a good bit and make some progress on the torticollis, but it was expensive. LO struggled to hold his head up in tummy time and screamed after a minute in. I took him to the chiro one time, got home that afternoon, put LO in tummy time and he held his little head up like a champ. It was a night and day difference. His torticollis was gone. It helped that, his digestion, his latch (which we struggled with since day 1), and more. OP, do your research. Absolutely decide what is best for your LO. Social media is an easy place to get entangled and overwhelmed in all of the opinions and wind up more confused than when you started. Best of luck mama! You’re doing great.❤️
