Head Shape, Head Tilt, and Neck Stiffness

Some babies have different head shapes. If your baby’s head is tilted or they’re having trouble turning their head, they may have tight (stiff) neck muscles. Learn about your baby’s head shape, neck stiffness, and what you can do to help. Pediatric rehabilitation can help if your child is having challenges in these areas of health and development.

Remember to talk to your healthcare providers for any questions or concerns that you have.
