The LSO announces the extension of our Pediatric Clinic on Thursdays with the addition of another room dedicated to babies, at Mayfield Clinic, Bethnal Green E2 9LJ, 020 89837133 lsoclinic@lso.ac.uk.
Babies and children ranging from 2 weeks to 16 years of age attend our clinic for screening and treatment. Majority of babies present with problems which relate to stresses suffered during the birth process.
Some of the common problems babies are treated for are:
- Flattening of head
- preference for turning the head one side only
- shortening of one sternocleidomastoid muscle
- difficulty rotating and side-bending neck to latch on to breast
- inability to fully open the mouth to breastfeed
