Flat spots on head and helmets

Jaime
Anyone had to put their baby in a helmet? My pediatrician said the spot I was worried about in back of head is normal and will round out eventually but to worry if he gets flat spots on the sides of head. He does favor one side of his head and always turns his he'd that way when sleeping in crib. I've noticed that side is getting more flat where the other side looks more round. But how do I control it when he's in the crib? Any suggestions? And if you had to get your baby a helmet, do u have pictures of your baby's head before? Just wondering how bad it has to be before they make you get a helmet. 
Thanks
