Son's heavy head

5 replies

DS16 is always complaining he can't get comfortable in bed and that his head in particular is always uncomfortable, as if it is too heavy. He does have a biggish head, I've tried a few different pillows but nothing has helped so far. Any suggestions?

Has he always had a big head? I don't think that's normal to be honest. Heads are usually in proportion to the rest of the body and a bigger or smaller head could be a medical issue.

@Chowtime Well when he was born he got stuck due to the size of his head, but there was never any problem flagged up. His dad has quite a big head, so I've always assumed he's inherited it from him.

You have to buy a support foam pillow with an indent for his shoulder to fit in. Good ones are very expensive hundred of pounds. These are the only pillows I like.

I'd take him to see a chiropractor or osteopath. He might have neck issues.

He probably has a weak neck. Does he exercise?
