Baby head pillows
[edit]Should this be referenced in the article? [1] "Öhman, A. (2014) A Specially Designed Pillow Can Decrease Developmental Plagiocephaly in Young Infants. Health, 6, 1092-1098. http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/health.2014.611135A"
I'm
[edit]I'm not sure how relevant the bit about sudden infant death syndrome and treatment with helmets is. It seems to be misleading to the 'uninformed' reader enquiring about plagiocephaly. It is clear that there is usually a much deeper neuropathy evident in children with marked plagiocephaly, as opposed to it being cause by placing children on their backs, which in my opinion is insinuated in this 'article'
- Positional plagiocephaly is a well-known, if essentially cosmetic, side effect of the Back to Sleep campaigns. I think it's appropriate to mention it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Is it temporal?
[edit]Is this temporal or remaining defect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.115.110.103 (talk) 14:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)Mirarkitty (talk) 08:37, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Moved to talk: Prevention and Natural Treatments
[edit]I appreciate the work to make it less of an advertisement, but there is a great deal more that needs to be done to make this appropriate. As always, if we get the sources right, the rest should be easy. In this case WP:MEDRS applies. It also needs to be reworded so it's not an advertisement but actually something suitable for an encyclopedia article. Tummy time almost definitely deserves mention. --Ronz (talk) 15:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Prevention and Natural Treatments
[edit]Awareness, prevention and early intervention is the key to avoid the costly helmet treatment. Following tools and therapy could serve as an effective and safe treatment modality on managing this development disorder such as:
1) Clinically tested Weight Distribution Pillow.[1][2]
2) Head Support Mattress designed by cranial osteopaths.[3]
3) Complementary Osteopathic treatment.[4][5]
4) Tummy Time.[6]
