What New Parents Should Know About Torticollis

Parents of newborns may find themselves watching for any signs of problems in their baby. If a baby’s head is tilted to one side, it could be congenital torticollis, which is usually noticeable when the baby is two to four weeks old.

If it’s treated promptly, there shouldn’t be any long-term issues.
