In report of a study conducted by Canadian researchers on Monday, it was revealed that almost half of all 2-month-old babies had flat spots on their heads. Lead of the study at Mount Royal University in Calgary and a registered nurse, Aliyah Mawji, mentioned in the report that the culprit – or culprits – is likely all the devices designed to hold babies safe and still. She added that “the reason why we want to catch this early is because if we see children with flattened heads, sometimes there are changes in their facial features.”
The report shows that pediatricians and pediatric nurses noticed a big increase in the number of babies who had flat spots on their heads, a condition technically known as positional plagiocephaly. However, several speculate that it’s caused by putting babies to sleep on their backs as it has helped in thrashing the rates of sudden infant deaths syndrome or SIDS. Still the babies have big, heavy heads along with relatively weak necks which implies that their heads tend to roll to one side, especially because their skulls are still soft, this can cause a flat spot.
Aliyah Mawji mentioned in a statement that “what we found out was that when we studied infants that were seven to 12 weeks of age coming into two-month immunization clinics in Calgary, almost half of them had some sort of flat spot on their head.” She added that “that was pretty surprising. I didn’t anticipate that it would be that high.”
