Yes, our DD, Sheridan, had muscular torticollis too. We noticed it around 10 weeks of age that when she would turn her head it was only to one side, and tilted too. At first we thought not much of it, but when we realized that it hurt her when we tried to have her turn her head the other way, we got worried.
