My son is 5 months and has major flatness on the back of his head. I get a lot of judgement on that, as if I've neglected my son. That is certainly not the case, but I'm still so humiliated and embarrassed because of it. We have struggled with tummy time because he has always hated it and fights me on it. With all of that said, I'm curious if any other mommas have struggled with this too. I'm still debating on whether or not to start the helmet treatments, or see if his new mobility (sitting up, sleeping on his side, etc) will help it even out.
@geekymomma13 & @pierced_momma thank you so much for sharing!! My son is getting better with tummy time, I'm just so concerned about whether or not the flatness will correct on its own. He even turns on his tummy at night now, which really scares mommy in the morning when I go to feed him lol
My son hated tummy time, so I would put him on top of me and talk to him so he would be more focused on me than on his position, once he stopped fussing abouy being on me I started guiding him into laying on my bed on his tummy until he would get upset. It went from one minute or less to constantly on his stomach that he army crawls. I have been considering the helmet because his head is flat too, but its gotten a lot better( the back of hos head had literal corners from how flat it was) since the tummy time but not 100%.
I would lay daughter down with her head facing left or right and would alternate each time she slept. Shes older now and prefers to lay on her side. And the flatness is pretty much gone.
@theinkedmommy Thanks! I was just curious of other mommy's experiences :)
@diegosmommy0213 My pediatrician doesn't think it's necessary. I pushed for the referral to a specialist that did my consultation about how the treatment would work if deemed necessary, or if I wanted to just pay out of pocket and go around our insurance. Also, yes of course I rotate his head when sleeping.
@kemara, Her doctor never mentioned a helmet, so I never looked into helmets. It corrected itself for the most part, but her head is still a little flat.
Get the helmet asap
U don't rotate side to side when he's sleeping ?
@theinkedmommy I'm relieved to hear it's not just me! Did you do treatments, or did it correct itself?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I definitely know the feeling lol if you're still concerned about it when you go to his 6 months appointment, bring it up with the pediatrician. My son rolls around in his sleep too it was definitely fear inducing the first time 😂
