Worried about baby having flat head?

Question

Any recommendations to help prevent it?

Answer

Keep baby off his head as much as possible when awake. Tummy time, baby wearing, holding him.

Answer

My daughter has a flat spot on one side due to her turning her head on that side while sleeping. I just ordered a pillow and the boppy noggin... I’m also trying to sit her up as much as I can now... or keep her head turned to the other side or straight ahead. Hoping within the next few weeks it’ll correct itself. She’s 2 months. I’m glad the doctor pointed it out now so we can work on fixing it as time goes on.

Answer

Neither of my babies have flat heads, they are perfectly round from what I call, a rotisserie baby. I use a sleep position pillow so there is no risk of them suffocating, and I lay them on their right side one night, left side the next night and on their back during the day. It is amazing, I have actually gotten compliments on the shape of my babies heads 😂

Answer

Plenty of tummy time

Answer

My little dude came out with a cone because I was pushing for so long and while the cone is going down, the back is a bit flat. He also has a few lumps and dents in the front that I'm going to ask the doctor about. They are getting worst as the cone goes away...see.

Answer

My daughter has a flat spot on the back but it’s due to her tortocolis since her head is always pulled that way. She’s 11w her neurologist and Pedi are confident with giving her PT for her neck to stretch her muscles and this special pillow they gave us and with tummy time it will fix its self. 
If not we will be rocking a helmet around 4-6 months and honestly I’m not worried about it. You just gotta go with the flow lol it’s not anything that can’t be corrected
