Torticollis


Simon has something called Torticollis, which basically means his neck muscles are unevenly developed. He tends to tilt his head when lying down (see first picture) and turn his head to the left when upright (see second picture). We were referred to physical therapy yesterday, and we were glad to hear that his is a mild case. We do need start with therapeutic exercises at home, lots of tummy time and monthly PT visits. So while the little head tilt is awfully cute, I guess it's not ideal!
