is my baby getting a flat head?

Question

Dad says she isn't but I can't help but obsess over it

Answer

Baby’s skull is still in several sections and will not form together for quite some time. Soft spots and flat spots are normal at this age because of this. If you feel concerned you can always bring it up to your pedi, and they will let you know what is in the normal range and when to get concerned. Hope this helps!

Answer

My 2nd daughter had quite a severe flat spot at the back of her head head (because she was such a great sleeper!) and I was so worried about it but she is 9 now and you would never have known...it went back to normal shape,  However, I didn’t want it to happen to my baby I have now (she is 8 weeks) so I bought a pillow with a hole in it and it is working well, no flat spot at all.  From your photo I think it looks like your baby is getting a little flat but I’m sure will rectify itself quickly by lots of tummy time and using a pillow.

Good luck and at the end of the day don’t stress too much about it, it’s not a big deal.
