A HAPPY beaming baby, little Logan was the perfect addition to his family.

But soon after he was born, his mum Kate Hirst noticed that something wasn’t quite right.

The tot only seemed to face one way and his head started to go a little misshapen.

Kate, 26, from Helme Lane in Meltham, discovered that her son was suffering from plagiocephaly, a condition known as flat-head syndrome.

She is now appealing to the community to help raise money for her son’s expensive treatment as the NHS will not fund it.

The single mum-of-four is now busy planning a series of fundraising activities in a bid to raise the £2,000 needed to buy her son a specialist helmet.

Little Logan Crotty was born on July 9, weighing 61b 11oz.

Kate said: “Shortly after he was born I noticed he always seemed to favour turning his head to the right – he hardly ever seemed to turn to look the other way.

“I mentioned it to various doctors, midwives and health visitors and I was told that he probably preferred that side and that it was nothing to worry about.

“As the weeks went by I started to notice his head going a little flat and misshapen.”

Kate told her midwife about this at Logan’s six week postnatal check and was assured that many babies get flat spots and this would most likely right itself.

However when she saw her doctor she decided to mention her son’s head and neck again.

The doctor diagnosed tortocollis – a condition where the neck muscles are twisted – but failed to comment on his head shape.
