Torticollis, also known as "wryneck," is a condition in which your baby's head is tilted. One of your newborn's neck muscles is shortened. So the chin points away from the shortened neck muscle. And the back of the head tilts back toward the shoulder. For example, if your baby's right neck muscle is shortened, the head will tilt back to the right shoulder and face left.
