What is it?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Massa nisl sit at est nibh.

Plagiocephaly is flattening of one area of a baby’s skull, often related to positional preference or limited movement. It is common, especially since safe sleep recommendations, and often improves with conservative management.

How we treat it at Alaga

• Full head shape + movement assessment
• Identify contributing factors (sleep position, preference, tummy time tolerance)
• Positioning education for sleep, play, feeding, and carrying
• Tummy time strategies parents can actually do
• Referral pathways for helmet therapy if clinically indicated
