Why is torticollis becoming so common?
Because babies are sleeping on their backs now and the muscles in the neck and upper back aren’t being stretched out as they were with tummy sleeping. If you suspect your child may have torticollis or a tightening of the neck muscles, tummy time WHILE AWAKE, is vital to their recovery. Try to put your baby on their tummy whenever they are awake- at least an hour a day.
