Floppy head syndrome, or hypotonia, in babies can be caused by various factors, including neurological disorders, genetic conditions, or muscle weakness. Some common causes include conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or spinal muscular atrophy. Additionally, prematurity or lack of oxygen during birth can contribute to this condition. It's essential for affected infants to receive a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate interventions.
No in the first place a baby's head is disproportionately large if looked at by adult standards. shaking a baby may cause brain damage however it wont make a baby's head bigger then it is supposed to be. There are conditions where baby's and children have much bigger heads then normal but these have nothing to do with shaken baby syndrome.
I believe that this means the babies head is in the correct position for birth.
Excessive convex head shape could be caused by conditions such as craniosynostosis, where one or more of the fibrous joints (sutures) in an infant's skull close too early. This can result in abnormal head shape as the skull cannot grow properly. Other potential causes include plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) or genetic factors. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
It is very important for parents to ensure their newborn babies are placed in an upright position for proper development and safety. This helps prevent issues like flat head syndrome and promotes healthy spine development. It also reduces the risk of choking and helps babies breathe easier.
Not necessarily--some babies are that way just because they have not reached that development level. It varies. In any case, support the baby's head until it can do so. Check in with your doctor.

No. A laser is not used to read or right to a floppy disk.The laser is usedto read and right data to an optical disk such as a dvd or cd. The floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium. A read right head is basically a small coil. When a current is passed thru the read/right head, itgenerates a magnetic field which aligns the small particles on the floppy disk in one of two directions. the direction of the particle indicates a 1 or 0which is the essence of data on a computer. to find out more details of the construction of a floppy disk and how data is saved, google floppy disk.
The main one is the disk wears out from contact with the head, and has limited storage capacity.
