My child is one month old only, she always keeps her neck to right side while sleeping and lying on bed . Will it affect her face or neck ?? Is it harmful??

Hey, I am sharing a link with you, please go through it, hope it will help you. And do not worry, I, too, faced the similar issue with my daughter, and I did not even visit any doctor as my repositioning her head during her each nap helped. Hope, it helps your baby too. http://my.clevelandclinic.org/childrens-hospital/health-info/ages-stages/baby/hic-Repositioning-Techniques-for-Infants

Hi, Well! There may not be any problem as such as it happens as in some babies the muscles of the neck that contract. The condition is called, torticollis. It can be corrected by repositioning the head while the baby is sleeping. Tilt her head to her non-preferred side. When you are feeding the baby, courage her to tilt the head to the less preferred side.

hi jusneet, i would suggest you try to change the position gently while your baby is sleeping. my SIL's son used to do the same, but his head has a distinct tilt to the shape. he is 8 years old now and it is still very visible.
