Re: [Parents of Little People 2] sleeping and head position

He might be starting to teeth~ my AH daughter started that at 4 months, and a
little of baby Tylenol did the trick. I don't know about the head tipping back
thing~ I would look for the smallest problem and solution, first. :D
My brother in law caught Sara teething at 4 months~ we were in a restaurant, and
Sara wouldn't be calmed. We all took turns walking her around, and just like
that, he said, "I bet she's teething!"
We were out of town, and we thought, we'll try anything. So, we got some
tylenol, and sure enough, she WAS teething. They started popping out in just a
little while.
Take care,
Patty :D

Subject: [Parents of Little People 2] sleeping and head position


My son (achon.) is now 3 months and 1 week old and he is not sleeping
for more than an hour at a time in the night. He also sleeps with his
head very tipped back and off to the left, never the right. Does
anyone know if this is a dwarfism thing or just a normal baby thing. I
have an appointment with my sons geneticist and his orthopedist on the
18th of this month but I need some sleep between now and then. Does
anyone have any suggestions?

Amy mom to beautiful ayden achon

Definitely agree to the sleep ox monitor. That would be wise. Have you had an MRI of the foramen magnum yet? For some reason this rang a bell for me. I...
