Episode Synopsis

Ever notice your baby always tilts their head to one side or struggles to turn the other way? Or maybe you’ve seen that dreaded “flopped-over head” look in the car seat? Let’s talk about what that really means.
 
In this episode, we’re diving into baby ergonomics and how to spot and support your little one if they have a tight neck or torticollis. You’ll learn:
 

What torticollis actually is (and why it happens)
Early red flags parents should watch for in newborns and infants
How positioning, tummy time, and daily habits affect neck mobility and head shape
Simple, gentle strategies to encourage better alignment and comfort
When to seek help from your pediatrician or physical therapist

 
 
This is your practical, no-stress guide to helping your baby move freely, build strength, and stay comfortable—from car seats to play mats.
 
🤍 Because good ergonomics start early—and comfort matters for babies too.
