Misshapened heads.(positional plagiocephaly)(Brief article)
There's been a lot written about positional plagiocephaly--misshapened skull bones due to the way a baby lays or sleep. Many articles say this occurs in one of every three hundred babies. Although no one knows why this occurs, sometimes it's attributed to the "Back to Sleep" campaign, which encourages parents to put their young babies to sleep on their backs to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
There still much we have to learn about positional plagiocephaly. It's believed that its incidence is increasing, but no one knows for sure. It's hard to define the true rate, and we don't know how often it occurred in the past; different studies used different criteria.
A review of 1,385 different published studies found no consistent risk factors for positional plagiocephaly. Perhaps most importantly, it seems that most cases of positional plagiocephaly tend to resolve during early childhood.
