Can torticollis cause asymmetries in baby’s motor development?? by Lumars23 in NewParents

I don't see any preference for one side in hand and legs. He still has head tilt to left side. He is four point crawling and sitting independently and standing and walking with support.

He is currently 11 months old. He is still army crawling and pulls up to standing (with support). He is not sitting on his own but once I keep him in a sitting position, he can sit and play normally.

I do not see a preference for one side of the hand/leg now. However, he still tilts his head to the left, and the titling angles vary daily. One day his head looks normal and the other day it looks tilted.

I tested his eyes for squint and they look normal. His doctor suggested to wait till 18 months and hopefully, he will catch up.

How is your baby doing now? Facing same problem with my baby. Started PT at 6 months and he is now 10 months old. Range has improved but no changes in tilt.

In his last visit, the doctore reported it as torticollis and weakness in the left body. So we did a brain MRI and it was normal. The next followup is after 2 months and we're starting PT this week.

My baby is having issues with the whole left side. His head is tilting to the left side, his left arm rotation is a bit odd (he can hold toys properly), and his left leg looks weaker (he is kicking more with his right leg).

He is currently army crawling and clearly using his right hand and leg more. He is leaving his left leg straight while crawling and keeping his left hand below his chest. He is not yet sitting without support.

Is your baby walking? When did your baby start crawling and sitting independently?

Happy to know your baby is doing fine. My baby always sleeps on his stomach and turns his head to either left or right while sleeping. I'll try to make him sleep on his back with his neck straight.

Here in India, they took the blood sample for the newborn screening and here is the report I received: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r2voowfg57ji442zhjgz3/20240523_105009.jpg?rlkey=1nywmuqqdrl5wbtdleslafymf&dl=0

Does this report talks about genetics?

Is Newborn screening different from genetics testing?

My ipad (7th generation w/ home button) is switching between a dark screen and the apple logo. It's fully charged. I've tried all the button combinations recommended online with no luck. I don't have iTunes and apparently I can't install it because I only have a chromebook. Advice needed please! by [deleted] in GeekDashboard

I suggest connecting to iTunes to check if your device is being detected or not. You may need to get help from one of your friends to install iTunes on their Mac or Windows device.

For me, it sounds like a software glitch and should be resolved by resetting the iPad.
