Luckily Cohen’s plates have not fused yet, so if we can get him sleeping/spending time one his back and special pillow, it may resolve on its own. Otherwise, Cohen will need a “helmet” between 7-9 months of age.

May 9, 2009: Funny Shaped Head?
Many of you have heard us talk about Cohen’s “funny shaped head.” “Funny shaped head” in medical terms is Scaphocephaly (no, I can’t pronounce it), and it describes a head with a long, narrow shape, and is particularly common in premature babies. It wasn’t until I downloaded the pictures from our cameras that I actually found proof of it in picture form. The first is a diagnostic picture of the Scaphocephaly, and the other is a picture of Cohen’s head.
