MS 3: E3: Baby Flat Head: Why Some Babies Improve More than Others (and When to Think About a Helmet)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've been doing everything "right" and your baby's head shape still isn't improving, this episode is for you.
In the final episode of our Head Shape Miniseries, paediatric physiotherapist Lisa Rogers Sergeant explains why some babies respond quickly to repositioning and exercises while others need additional support.
You'll learn the biggest factors that influence head shape correction including your baby's age, movement patterns, severity of flattening, and even family circumstances; and why none of these mean you've failed.
Lisa also gives an honest, experience-based look at helmet therapy:
- When is it worth considering?
- How do helmets actually work?
- How do you know if your baby needs one?
- And can babies still achieve great results without one?
Whether you're seeing encouraging progress or feeling stuck, this episode will help you make informed, confident decisions about the next step for your baby.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why some babies improve much faster than others
- The biggest predictors of successful head shape correction
- When it's time to seek extra support
- How helmet therapy works (and who it helps most)
- Common myths about helmets
- Why physiotherapy should empower parents, not create endless appointments
- How to know you're on the right track
