Do You Know What Torticollis Looks Like? We Didn't Either

Isn't This picture adorable?  We thought so too.  However, it was trying to tell us something, but we couldn't see the forest through the trees.

What Does Torticollis Look Like?  Hmm, the first question people usually ask is, What is torticollis?  Most new parents are completely unaware of what to look for when they bring their newborn home from the hospital.  If during your pregnancy, you had low amniotic fluid, or your baby was breech there is a higher possibility of torticollis.  In our case, low amniotic fluid caused our baby's head to be held in the same position because of lack of room to move.  This lack of movement, caused the sternocleidomastoid muscle to be tight on her left side(Torticollis or Wry Neck).

We have created a video to show parents the signs of Torticollis in infants.  Initially, most won't see any issue with the photos, but it is plain as day.  If you know what Torticollis looks like.  Had we been able to view this early on in Alexandra's life, we would have know right away, what Tortcollis looks like.
