I'll never forget the day my husband was holding one of our 4-month-old twins and said, "His head is crooked!" I frantically ran over, looked down at the top of my beautiful baby's head and noticed that his ears were displaced and the right side of his head was flat! I immediately ran over to his twin brother for comparison and realized that his head seemed crooked, too!

We immediately took our twins to their pediatrician, who said that they both had positional molding. Positional molding is a skull deformity caused by the weight of the brain on an infant's soft skull, creating flat spots on the head. It occurs when infants lie on their backs in one position for too long.
