Flat head

Should I be concerned about a flatter head at this point? (3 months) He is getting better at tummy time and holds his head fine. He’s been sleeping on his back through the night since 8 weeks old.

Just get one of the special pillows. We use it every time he’s on his back on his play mat and his head is beautifully round now hehe. He doesn’t sleep with it though. I don’t think the amount of tummy time vs back time is enough to prevent it unfortunately.

My daughter’s head had a big flat spot at this age and it disappeared once she sat up more. Now my son’s head is flat in the back, too, but I’m not worried. At least his is even. With his sister it was to one side which is worse because it meant she was always turning her head the same way and we had to train her to look the other way. Her pediatrician was more worried about that than the flat spot itself.

My sons head was really flat by 4 months, when I questioned the pediatrician she said it usually rounds out on its own as soon as they start sitting up. By 6 months my sons head was perfectly round and we did nothing. He just started doing his jumperoo and walker by then so he was laying down a lot less often

My son was is 3 months and started to get it and I asked my pediatrician about it. He wasn’t really concerned about it and just suggested more and more tummy time. Which my LO hates. But we are trying to spend a lot of time on the tummy now even tho it’s miserable.
