my dd had it also from birth and she had physical therapy until about 5-6 months. Basically with us the therapist told us the main thing that would really make a difference is putting her on her stomach as much as possible because that will teach her how to support her own head in the correct position... I know that in severe cases there is such a thing as a helmet.. I do know of someone taht had to use it for a few months on thier daughter, basically it holds the head in the corrrect position. My daughter's case b'h wasnt that severe in the carriage however we alsu made sure that her head wasnt floppin to the side we would stuff like a towel or blanket on the side of the round support in the carriage so her head stayed upright
