why babies fAVOR ONE SIDE AND WHEN TO TAKE ACTION

Many parents notice their baby prefers turning their head to one side. This is often dismissed as something babies will outgrow, but persistent head preference usually points to underlying tension.

This tension may develop from positioning in the womb or the birth process itself. When movement feels limited in one direction, babies choose what feels easiest.

Over time, this can influence head shape, feeding comfort, tummy time, and developmental milestones.

Families in the DFW area often seek support early once they notice these patterns. Early care focuses on improving mobility and reducing tension so babies can move more freely and symmetrically.

If your baby consistently favors one side or struggles with tummy time, an evaluation can help determine whether support is needed.
