My baby only likes to look left. No matter what we do or angle we shift her to, she only wants to look left. What do I do?

Is she able to turn to the other side but choose not to? Here are some exercises to try: - When your baby wants to eat, offer the bottle or your breast in a way that encourages your baby to turn away from the favored side. (Use your child's desire to eat to encourage him or her along!) - When putting your baby down to sleep, position him or her to face the wall. Since babies prefer to look out onto the room, your baby will actively turn away from the wall and this will stretch the tightened muscles of the neck. Remember to always put your baby to sleep on his or her back, as this helps reduce the risk of SIDS. - During play, draw your baby's attention with toys and sounds to make him or her turn in both directions. If this is a concern to you, visit your PD and get your PD to do a physical examination for her.
