Why Wonky Head?
Nobody types “wonky head” to be unkind. They type it at 3 a.m., one hand on a phone and the other resting on a baby, because it is the phrase that actually comes to mind. It is the word a grandmother uses gently, the word a nurse chooses so a frightened parent won’t panic, said with worry and love, never mockery.
Type it into Google, and it returns more than 16 million results: millions of pages from parents, doctors, and families all circling the same two plain words. That is why Wonky Head exists. Not to make light of anything, but to meet parents where they already are, in the language they already use, and to answer them with calm, trustworthy information and the specialists who can genuinely help.
