Rating:  - How to get Ahead in baby book sales
When my darling baby boy, Joneseykin Luther III, was born with a visibly conical head, my wife Henrietta and I contemplated flushing him. The "doctor" suggested donating the baby to "researchers" in N.Kor. We looked into it, but the shipping costs are outrageous!!!! Luckily, Amazon has free shipping so we got this book instead.
This book is amazing. The results can be whatever you want them to be. For us, asymmetry has always been a respected design idiom, so we went with a "flock of seagulls" meets "isoceles" look. The perfect off-centre balance to an otherwise boring round head.
Highly Recommend!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating:  - Book Beautiful
This book is not just about having a pretty baby. It is also about having a healthy birth and a healthy baby who will grow to be a healthy adult.
The skull holds the brain and if the container is misshapen, surely there will be resulting tensions. As a clinical hypnotherapist, I have often wondered why certain facial features, head shapes and postures can fairly accurately predict personality type. I have seen release of fear produce effects in the body. After reading this book, it seems apparent that releasing the tension in the skull can also relax the entire body and mind. This book makes it clear to me that much goes on in the birthing process and needs to be addressed from the beginning, so the child can have a chance at a good life.
Dr. Dobson's own life experience -- as mother, massage therapist and chiropractor -- has given her a vast personal and practical curiosity, a breadth and depth and wisdom that are missing in many purely clinical books.
Rating: - great book for identifying cranial deformities
A wonderful book for new parents. As more babies are developing head asymmetry (plagiocephaly) due to back sleeping, this book gives good pointers on identifying and addressing these asymmetries early. As the author notes, head asymmetries are not just a cosmetic issue -- they're associated with jaw pain and migranes into adulthood. It's much better to use the techniques she details on a newborn then have to resort to other methods like tummy sleeping and cranial helmets later in the first year. -- From someone who's been there and wished I had this info and awareness when my daughter was born.
Rating:  - Hey, anyone here ever see the
I'm sure the author is well intentioned but anyone who thinks they need this book should really get a life. Sure--it's all good fun until little Timmy ends up with a point at the top of his head and can only sing "Me and My Arrow" in an endless loop, while drooling. And it'll all be because his mom & dad thought this book was the solution to the funny, sorta lumpy way Timmy's older sibling's head ended up.
