Does this look abnormal?

Question

My 2 month olds head is flat I’ve ordered a baby moon pillow but what my concern is where it seems to dip in a little almost like the soft spot is still open back there. I don’t remember this with my first. Her head was perfectly round. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I’m going to take her to see her pediatrician tomorrow but I’m still worried and wanted to see if other moms have ever experienced this.

Answer

I’m not an expert but it looks like typical flat head syndrome from spending lots of time on her back. Just try to give her lots of tummy time when she’s awake and try using a carrier for some day time naps so that she’s spending less time on her back when possible (obviously she should be sleeping on her back if she’s not in your arms or in a carrier). That alone could help it right itself but if not, your pediatrician will prescribe a helmet if it becomes necessary down the line.

Answer

She needs more tummy time it looks like she’s always laying on her back

Looks like flat head syndrome

Answer

That looks normal. Babies skulls aren’t closed till theyre like two I think. So there’s gonna be some weird little spots. Just looks like she needs some early intervention for the flat part :)

Answer

I got one of them pillows, I think it worked with my son, I also used it when changing his diaper and stuff. It’ll work itself out especially once she starts moving her head side to side more and rolling around! You’re doing a great job Mama! I’m sure your pediatrician will give you some good tips as well :) mine always told me it wasn’t too big of an issue so young because they’re skulls are so mailable so it could easily fix itself since it’s caught early on.

Answer

Try more tummy time or when she’s asleep turn her head to one side.

Answer
