How to spot a change in your baby’s head?

This is what parents say about us
"When my baby was 3 months old, he kept lying on his right side and had trouble turning his head left. I was worried because his head looked flat on one side. The pediatrician said it would get better on its own, but I decided to get advice from a Skully Care therapist. After the assessment, we got clear advice and some exercises. Seven months later his head was already a lot better!"
Mom Monica with baby Jack – now 7 months
"I noticed right after birth that Olivia preferred lying on her back, and I didn’t think much of it. But by 6 months, I felt the back of her head and it was quite flat. I saw the pediatrician, who suggested a helmet, but I had doubts, so I asked Skully Care for advice. After an assessment, the Skully Care therapist recommended exercises and there is already a lot of progress.’
Mom Anna with baby Olivia – now 9 months
"When I noticed Jacob couldn’t turn his head left while on his tummy, I saw a pediatric physiotherapist. They said it would get better on its own, but it actually got worse at 7 months, which worried me. I found Skully Care's online assessments through Google, did a measurement via their app, and received clear advice and next steps. Now Jacob can turn his head left again, and we have a final online consult coming up."
