I only noticed this over the past few days. Whenever we put her in the moses basket, she lies there with her head turned to the right, whether she's awake or asleep. I thought she might be fascinated by staring at something, so I turned the moses basket round 180 degrees - but her head is still turned to the right even though now she's staring at a blank wall. I propped up the right side of the mattress with towels so that gravity would give a hand - but her head is still turned to the right. I fed her to sleep and lay her down on her left hand side, then gently pushed her body so that she'd be lying on her back - but her head turned with her body and then plopped over to the right again.
I've heard of parents worrying about flat head syndrome. But I'm worried that she never sleeps on the back of her head, or on the left side.
Could this be a problem or am I over-reacting?? Could it be a sign that she had a problem with her neck? Or at the very least, I don't want her to get a D-shaped head!!
