Question :
Hello Doctor. My baby is almost 6 months old, and her neck is sometimes tilted to the left, sometimes straight. When I was a child, I lay on my left side, so my head was distorted on the left side, so far my head is less distorted than before. So does my baby have a crooked neck? Or is it because my neck is still weak, so it's new? Ask your doctor for help. I thank you very much, Doctor.

Hello. Infrequent neck tilt to one side may be normal, possibly signaling a sternocleidomastoid tumor. The physical examination will help the doctor distinguish, so you should take the child to the doctor for the best assessment. Wishing you and your family good health. Best regards.
