Is her head uneven ?

Carrie

I kept thinking it was just the cowlick but I think it’s actually uneven 😕 is it likely she would need a helmet to fix?

My son's head was really flat on one side. I was so nervous he was going to need a helmet. His doctor said not to worry that it will round out and it did. I would bring it up to your doctor so they can watch it.

Okay thank you! We’re doing a ton of tummy time

She looks great. I'm sure everything is really fine. Our ped said to start doing more tummy time. And once they start rolling around that helps too.

Okay we just had her 4 month appt a few weeks ago and the ped mentioned she’s starting to get a small flat spot, but it doesn’t look flat from the side.. maybe this is what she was talking about

No, she’s a baby. Her skull is still growing. She probably still has her soft spot. Her head will be fine.

Could be a little flat spot but the helmet is last line of defense not the first. Do more tummy time and make sure you rotate in the crib so she’s not always looking one direction.

Also try to avoid rock and plays and bouncer seats for longer than about 15 minutes

When is her next pediatrician appointment? I'd mention that you are concerned. They should feel her skull for any unevenness and will be able to give you an idea as to whether or not she will need a helmet.

We just had her 4 month one, next isn’t until 6 months. Dr did say she was getting a small flat spot but sleeping in her crib should start to correct itself. I couldn’t tell anything from the side but now looking from the top I wonder if this is what she was talking about
