Hi there, I was just wondering what kind of torticollis my 8 month son has. He constantly flips from his back to the left and ends up on his tummy. He has a bald spot on the lower left part of the back of his head. I also wanted to ask for any suggestions on how to help with my son’s sitting. He wants to extend so he leans back and fights me when I try and get his pelvis or hips (I’m not sure which) forwards so he’s more upright.
Hmmm. Sounds like he may have more than just a neck problem if he is extending at the hips. I recommend you consult with a local pediatric therapist who can customize a program for your child
There is no research indicating that one type of stretch is better than another. I believe it would be up to the individual family to see which stretches are tolerated Best by the child.
The first thing you should do if you’re worried about your child’s neck is the contact a local pediatric physical therapist who can help you. Here is my playlist for Torticollis. th-cam.com/play/PLAkJbMrHyKjOS1oT3rtE8PzHf_KL-dAz9.html

Is there any advantages to this stretch compared to the traditional methods?

Hi, my baby is 20 days old, is this exercise too much for him at this age?
Unfortunately, I cannot make recommendations for specific child that I have never evaluated. I will say that this baby is one month old himself.

How many minutes/times per day would you recommend doing this exercise?
The Research is unclear on that answer. It appears more frequent. Stretching is better than less frequent.
His neck keep moving forward and back ward lift and right

I forgot to add that he avoids turning on the right and even if I have toys he’s uninterested in leaning to the right.
You need someone local who can assess your child
