I went to that place again with Mum and Grandma that sticks needles in my leg. I found out I'm 14 lbs. 14 oz., almost 15 lbs. I also learned I have torticollis and plagiocephaly. What is that? It literally means twisted neck and flat head. What causes it? Premature babies have softer skulls at birth than "normal" babies. Because of SIDS prevention, infants sleeping on the back leads to sleeping on the same part of the head, leading to flattening. I may have muscles shorter on one side of the neck than the other. This may also cause me to hold my head in the same position. It can be a vicious cycle I will have some X- Rays and a neurologist examine to determine if anything needs to be done to make this better.
