Flat spot

My baby is 5 months old and I noticed a few weeks ago she has a flat spot. I know babies get them and they’ll correct themselves most the time but my mom is making a huge deal about it and telling me not to let her play on her gym mat anymore and is overall very worried about it. This isn’t a big deal right? You can barely see it but you can feel it. I don’t need to make an appointment to go in right? My mom is freaking out that she’s going to need a helmet 😂

Just give her more tummy time and side play. Rule of thumb if there awake try to keep them off there back as much as possible as they spend all night on them.

My baby has a flat spot too. I hope it goes away once she starts rolling over. She loves being on her back right now.

Like a flat spot on the back from laying down? It'll work itself out as baby starts to sit up. My daughter loves tummy time and scoots everywhere and the semi flat spot on the back of her head is going away. We had her 6mo check up yesterday and her pediatrician didn't say anything about it. It's probably not nearly as big of a deal as your mom is making it

Yes! She lays flat on her back. She loves to play on the floor on her mat... She can roll both ways and if I lay her on her tummy she immediately flips herself on her back because she just prefers it. She’s so close to sitting up I figured it would come to an end soon but my mom likes to worry 😂 thank you!!
