A member asked:
Is it normal my 2 month old baby prefers her left side when she's sleeping and she's awake? knowing that i keep switching her head right and left
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : She may have tightness of the neck muscle limiting ability to turn her head to the right. This may be accompanied by flattening of the head on the other side. Have your doctor check this and if present, make a referral to a physical therapist.
