Flat head

My baby’s head started to get a little flat. I rolled up receiving blankets to put on each side of him at night when he sleeps, and I turn his head and tuck it up against his back so he can’t roll. I know I have safe sleep Karen’s screaming right now, but he’s not rolling over, and it works. He also spits up a lot so it helps him not to aspirate it.

My oldest who’s now 10 had to wear a helmet for playgiocephaly. (The flat head) I think she looked so adorable in it. It looks like you also may need one. Just bring it up at your babes 4 month checkup they will lead you in the right direction ❤️

It’s normal for now. Don’t worry mama. It’ll round out!

My son prefers turning his head to his right and is getting flat on that side of his head. I just had a physical therapy appointment as recommended by my pediatrician to learn ways to encourage him to stretch his neck the other way. Maybe something like this could help you? Learning ways to help them stretch and use those muscles and how to interact with them to encourage full use of their neck.

Definitely ask your pediatrician, but I’d guess he needs a helmet. Personally I find them adorable.

Most definitely don’t need a helmet as long as when he’s sleep lay him on sides and keep switching sides . Their heads can most definitely round out till about 1 & 2 years old !

I would ask his pediatrician. My son had head issues and we had to see a specialist for a helmet

It's not just about being on your chest. He needs tummy time on the floor during the day. Pretty much any time he is awake, play time needs to be on his stomach. Babies generally do not like it but their strength builds up over time. The head generally will not round out once it is at this point so if it bothers bothers, you will need to get a consult for a helmet. (We dealt with the same with my first born due to torticollis and did physical therapy and a helmet consult)

Totally not related but in your first picture what is your little man chilling in?
