Torticollis Pictures: 7 months of PT

It's crazy to think that Kellyn has been doing physical therapy for her torticollis for almost seven months.  That's equates to almost half of her life considering she'll be 14 months in a little over a week.  I feel like her torticollis progress has plateaued over the past few months.  In my opinion, the head tilt doesn't look more pronounced, but it also doesn't look much better than it did a few months ago.  That's a little frustrating to me since I dedicate a good chunk of time daily to her torticollis exercises.  I just want to know that the hard work I'm putting in is actually making a difference.  On a positive note, her motor skills are continually progressing.  Over the past few weeks, she went from taking a couple steps to taking several steps. We still have tons of spills and I would not officially qualify her as a walker yet, but she's certainly on her way.  Anyways, check out her progress pictures below.

Pretty accurate representation of her current head tilt. Happy about her great progress
since the beginning, but frustrated that progress plateaued in the past few months

Cruising Exercises for Baby

Before a baby walks, she will first develop the ability to cruise along furniture or household objects. Kellyn's physical therapist believes that once Kellyn starts walking, her head tilt will decrease. Therefore, I have been working with Kellyn on cruising exercises to develop the precursor skills to walking.  Below is a video tutorial and instructions for three different cruising exercises to promote future walking.

Review of Snuggin Go Too Wipe-able Leatherette

After my daughter outgrew her Snuggin Go, upgrading to the Snuggin Go Too Child Positioner was a no brainer.  BGR Juvenile Products was kind enough to give me the Snuggin Go Too Wipe-able Leatherette Child Positioner to try out and review.  I was excited because I was still able to reuse the cushions from the Torticollis Support Kit that we had purchased for her first Snuggin Go.  Since my daughter is a messy eater, I was also looking forward to trying out a product that was easy-to-clean.  If you are interested in my video review of this product, check it out below:



Although the wipe-able leatherette material is a bit more expensive than their standard traditional material, I think its well worth the expense.  If your child is younger than 1 year, you can get the wipe-able leatherette Snuggin Go here.  For the toddler version of this product, you can purchase it here.  If would like to see my review for the Snuggin Go Infant Positioner, check out this post.
