Some babies with torticollis also will develop a flat head (positional plagiocephaly) on one or both sides from lying in one direction all the time.

For an aqueous solution composed of both a weak acid or base and its conjugate, see Buffer solution. For uses not related to acid-base chemistry, see Buffer. A buffering agent is a weak acid or base used to maintain the acidity (pH) of a solution near a chosen value after the addition of another acid or base. That is, the function of a buffering agent is to prevent a rapid change in pH when acids or bases are added to the solution.
