Gear that helps with Torticollis?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Which products/gear would you all recommend for a baby with torticollis?

The physical therapist has recommended things like head positioners for car seat/stroller/crib, boppy for tummy time, bumbo-just to be doing something without resting on his head, memory foam mat under head in crib.

...just wondering what brands or specific products you've all found useful, either from my list, or things we haven't thought of.



Thanks!

my 5m dd has torticollis. for her she needs to work on stretching out one side of her neck. no special equipment was recommended. just make sure that when i lay her down i need to vary the direction she looks
a gal here mentioned that she used her exersaucer and a tv to encourage her dc to look in the weaker direction.

tummy time is suppose to really help, though my dd hates it so. the boppy hasn't really worked out well as dd will thrust herself up and over the boppy and then just cries as she's facedown on the floor with her belly on the boppy

pt was informative the first time, but after that it's mostly just to check for progress or lack of.
