Re: wierd question..
I can't answer your question, but you should post this on the parenting board where you will get more answers

Re: wierd question..
My son does this and I didn't notice it until his 4 month well visit to the doctor  . My ped. said to massage his neck with lotion to loosen up the muscle because it could potentially be harmfull. At your next visit I would inform your doctor about this. I have been massaging his neck every night, which is difficult because he does squirm so much and I also use to feed him with my left arm holding him and his right arm would be behind my back so his neck would tilt to the left so I now I hold him on my right arm also.

Re: wierd question..
My cousin's daughter had this. She needed to bring her to a physical therapist and also massage it daily. Unfortunately I don't remember the cause or the name of this situation.But she did need to address it to avoid future issues.

Re: wierd question..
Could be Torticollis, which is treatable by Physical Therapy... It is not usually a big deal though.

Re: wierd question..
I also posted on the Parenting board, but I would like to add that torticollis IS a big deal. I'm sorry, but if your baby has to go through physical therapy and possibly have limited mobility for the rest of their lives, that's a big deal. No offense to anyone, but I don't want any parent to think it's not a big deal and wait on getting treatment

Re: wierd question..
I want to add that my dr. said that if I didn't address this issue and just left it that he could develope a hematoma from it.
