My babes was breach my entire pregnancy so his head was flattened out like a pancake against my ribs. I had a c section so obviously his head wasn’t shaped through the birth canal. He’s nearing the 5 month mark and while his head has gotten better, I’m still concerned it’s not changing fast enough. The doctors keep telling me that they’re doing a wait and see approach as it could get better on its own once he starts crawling and the muscles get stronger in his neck.

He already does a ton of tummy time to strengthen his neck and I try to get him to sleep on the back of his head but he insists on sleeping on the sides.

Anyone else in the same boat? I’ve emailed my doctors to request a referral to a specialist but I just wanted to get others opinions while I wait.

Doctors say the head should be pretty much be like a circle but my LO is more like an oval

Pretty sure he has scaphocephaly

I should’ve taken more pictures of his head shape when he was younger but it was usually hidden by his chunky neck

This was a few weeks after he was born

About two months old

And today

I guess my main concern for his head shape is due to his father and fathers side of the family start balding towards the end of high school 😭 My husband has a “unique” shape head that wouldn’t really be noticeable if he had hair but since he really doesn’t… well he just wears hats to hide it. I want my babe to have a nice looking bald head when he’s older!
