For parents concerned about flat head syndrome or deformational plagiocephaly in their infants, early monitoring and proactive measures are essential. Flat head syndrome occurs when a baby’s head develops a flat spot, often due to pressure on one area. By observing head shape from birth and implementing early intervention, many cases of flat head syndrome can be effectively prevented.
Our Happy Melons Program offers a non-invasive, conservative approach to ensure that your baby’s head grows into its natural shape. This program supports healthy growth patterns by assessing, tracking, and guiding corrective actions for flat head prevention. The first six months are crucial for proper skull development, and starting intervention early—ideally from birth—can significantly reduce the risk of long-term deformities.
The goal of this program is to prevent flat head syndrome and reduce associated issues, such as potential difficulties with feeding, posture, and head mobility. By detecting early signs of flattening and implementing corrective measures, we aim to support each child’s developmental journey.
Our program includes a series of key steps designed for optimal infant head shape monitoring
By starting from birth or as early as possible, this program provides comprehensive guidance and hands-on support for parents to prevent and manage flat head syndrome effectively.
Each month, your baby will undergo head shape monitoring, and parents will receive a customised report highlighting growth progress and any recommended actions.
Our programme is lead by Benjamin Lai Hong Kong’s only Advanced Paediatric Osteopath, who is dedicated to helping your baby reach their full developmental potential through proactive monitoring, early intervention, and gentle therapeutic techniques.
The Happy Melons Program is a proactive, non-invasive approach to monitoring and guiding your baby’s head shape development. This program focuses on early assessment, regular tracking, and gentle corrective measures to support natural head shape growth, ideally starting from birth to six months of age.
Flat head syndrome, or deformational plagiocephaly, occurs when a flat spot forms on an infant’s head due to prolonged pressure in one area. Early monitoring and intervention are important, as untreated cases can impact head shape, posture, feeding, and even mobility over time.
The first six months of life are critical for skull development. Starting the program early, ideally at birth, allows for proactive monitoring and intervention, significantly reducing the likelihood of developing Flat Head Syndrome and associated developmental concerns.
