It is a fact that pregnancy and childbirth are an intense journey for both mommy and baby. They go through different stages together month after month. At times when the baby arrives it is found that he always has his head in the same position. When the parents try to change the position of the baby's head, he always goes back to the initial position. This condition known as Torticollis involves infants having a stiff neck. At the resourceful website of Cappskids.org you can explore everything about the condition and how to find help. Cappskids.org is a Specialist Directory and Condition Specific Telehealth Provider.

The baby’s skull is actually made up of several bony plates, between those plates are fibrous joints called sutures. Normally, the sutures in a developing infant’s skull fuse in a gradual process over a long period of time. However, occasionally when the fusing occurs too early it is known as [b]craniosynostosis[/b].

The experts at Cappskids.org identify signs of [b]craniosynostosis[/b] such as a misshapen skull, with the shape depending on which of the cranial sutures are affected, abnormal feeling or disappearing "soft spot" on baby's skull and slow or no growth of the head as baby grows.

[b]Sagittal synostosis[/b] is the premature fusion of the suture at the top of the head (sagittal suture) that forces the head to grow long and narrow, rather than wide. The signs of cranio [b]synostosis[/b] sometimes not noticeable at birth become apparent during the first few months of your baby's life. In order to learn more about [b]Craniofacial[/b] syndromes and deformities of the skull, visit Cappskids.
