We are seeing more and more babies in helmets these days.  You may notice, stare for a slight moment and then not give it another thought.  But what you don’t know, is that this is occurring in 16% of babies (and 56% of twins) today.  This statistic is staggering, and has grown five-fold in the last 15 years.  What is going on, and why are our children’s heads suffering? Flat Head Syndrome is known as plagiocephaly in the medical community, and it is a cranial malformation.  Like I said, it is becoming more and more common with little to no attention for parents to understand why.
