Additionally, we can discuss various forms of therapy, what helmets cost here in India, and how to know you\u2019re choosing a good one for your child. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Baby_Flat_Head_Syndrome_Plagiocephaly\"><\/span><strong>What is Baby Flat Head Syndrome (Plagiocephaly)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know? This plagiocephaly develops when a baby\u2019s head becomes pushed flat by continuous pressure on the same side. For the first several months, babies are placed on their backs to help keep them safe from co-sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some causes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sleeping in the same position<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Torticollis (tight neck muscles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premature birth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited tummy time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though plagiocephaly doesn\u2019t influence brain growth, left untreated, it may cause unevenness in the face and problems with self-confidence as the child grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plagiocephaly_Comes_in_Two_forms\"><\/span><strong>Plagiocephaly Comes in Two forms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the bones in a baby\u2019s skull fuse prematurely, the condition is called <strong>craniosynostosis.<\/strong> This condition requires a surgical intervention which will be followed by cranial helmet therapy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common, <strong>second kind is positional plagiocephaly<\/strong> and does not involve bone fusions. The bones and sutures are unchanged, but the head can flatten on one side at the back due to continuous pressure while lying on the back for a long time. Because this is a non-obstacle type, it doesn\u2019t stop brain growth and is typically managed with repositioning and therapy involving helmets. With this, two more medical conditions are present: brachycephaly and scaphocephaly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Flat_head_Syndrome_Tummy_Time\"><\/span><strong>Baby Flat head Syndrome &amp; Tummy Time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tummy time<\/em><\/strong> is a good initiative to correct positional plagiocephaly to help your child.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving your baby regular tummy time reduces pressure on the back of their head and supports healthy skull development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tummy-to-Tummy<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Lie back and place the baby on your chest.<br>Great for bonding and building neck strength early on.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eye-Level Smile<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Get down face-to-face during tummy time.<br>Your baby will lift and turn their head to follow your face, helping avoid one-sided flattening.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lap Soothe<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Take the baby in your arms and lean it across your legs for a little stretch.<br>Easy and comforting, especially when the baby is fussy.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tummy-Down Carry<\/strong><br>The safest way to carry your baby is with her or him facing the world, appropriately supported under their stomach and head.<br>A great alternative to always being on the back.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tummy Minute<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>After you change the baby\u2019s diaper, lay them down on their tummy for several minutes.<br>Always find time to make small, frequent sessions to help tummy time become a habit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From birth, spend a few minutes daily and gradually increase to an hour by the time your baby is three months. It supports your baby in developing and keeping their head shape safe at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_You_Consider_a_Plagiocephaly_Baby_Helmet\"><\/span><strong>When Should You Consider a Plagiocephaly Baby\u00a0 Helmet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The right moment makes all the difference. The best time to begin helmet therapy for infants is between 4 and 6 months. During these months, your baby\u2019s skull undergoes the growth process. How much helmet therapy helps reduce a lot after 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kare-prosthetics-amp-orthotics wp-block-embed-kare-prosthetics-amp-orthotics\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"l7CELYy7M1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karepoindia.com\/blog\/infants-helmet-therapy\/\">What is Baby Helmet Therapy?

Because of these helmets, the head can expand in less noticeable places and less in bulge regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the daily repositioning does not work by 4 to 5 months, you might be told to try infant helmet therapy, also called helmet therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Infant_Helmet_Therapy_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Does Infant Helmet Therapy Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your baby\u2019s head is scanned with SMARTSoc technology.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The customised helmet will be fabricated based on the scan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Usually it takes 8-12 working days and then helmet will be fitted on baby\u2019s head.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baby needs to wear the helmet up to 23 hours in a day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow ups are needed in the intervals of 3-4 weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long a baby wears their helmet depends on how severe the condition is and usually ranges from 3 to 6 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are easy to breathe through, safe for your baby, and not too heavy.

These helmets handle the child kindly, adjust for their development, and do not meddle with thinking, growing, or feelings. Most babies go about their usual sleeping, playing, and meeting with others. Wearing a helmet doesn\u2019t bother most babies, who tend to sit or crawl in it without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helmet_Therapy_in_India_What_Parents_Should_Know\"><\/span><strong>Helmet Therapy in India: What Parents Should Know<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last few years, more people in India have become aware of plagiocephaly helmet therapy. Earlier, these solutions were only available in large, urban areas. Now, clinics in India manage the testing, decide on the best helmet to use and organise regular checkups. It\u2019s now possible to receive plagiocephaly treatment for your baby in Bangalore, Mumbai, Ghaziabad and Hyderabad from qualified experts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The clinic has 3D scanners, certified clinicians and custom plans, which work well for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>Worried about your baby\u2019s flat head?

After a year, the skull\u2019s flexibility decreases, making cosmetic surgery more difficult.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re not confident, you should get a professional evaluation.
