9 weeks old

And my god has it flown. She's changed so much in such a short time and is just so much bigger and stronger. She smiles all the time, and makes such funny little sounds.

Current worries are flat head, as much as the internet says this is normal I'm slightly freaked out and have now been insisting on ridiculous amounts of "tummy time". Unfortuntely today it appeared to be "cheesing" time too, so we're on t-shirt number 2. I'm now convincing myself that she doesn't turn her head to look left enough (she generally sleeps looking to the right) and this is the reason for it. When we were back in hospital, a doctor commented on her lovely shaped head, I thought that was odd at the time but have since seen some funny-headed babies that need to settle back down after their squeezing out squashedness! At the breastfeeding group I went to a couple of weeks back, a lady there had Cranial Osteopathy done on her baby boy as he could only look in one direction. I'm highly skeptical over that sort of thing; sentences like "Osteopaths work to restore the structure and function of the body to a state of balance and harmony, so helping the whole person." make me think my, what a load of crap. Some people swear by it, but I find it hard to put faith in something that doesn't make obvious scientific sense. However, I'm now paranoid - can she only turn her head one way? Will something I think is b******s help? Has becoming a mother driven me insane?
