I have diagnosed a two month old with plagiocephaly, a misshapen shaped head 
(a flattened occipital parietal area, noticable prominence of frontal area 
with secondary tightening of neck, shoulder muscles) thought to be do always 
positioning baby on the same side to feed, sleep, etc... This baby is 
formula fed and each family member feeds baby from same side and puts baby 
to sleep on same side. I am curious if anyone has seen this condition in a 
breastfed baby. it seems unlikely since the positioning on both sides would 
be preventative,  but I am curious anyway.    Denise
