Baby has a flat head

Your baby's head appears to be flatter on one side than the other. It's important not to overlook this:


  • Your baby's head is very malleable and adopts the shape of the crib when sleeping.
  • More than aesthetic, the flattening of your child's head can have consequences on the development of motor skills, eyesight, and cause problems with teeth.
  • It is advisable to change the position of your baby's head when they sleep.
  • Use a lateralization pillow to alternate your baby's position in the crib.

My son has one and we're 3 months in and no sign of change. Just causes him to go ballistic and now he has night terrors.

oh no..I'm so sorry.. his head started going flat when he was a month old, they said he was to little for a helmet so I have to take him back when he's four months old to get his head checked again and go from there but his heads still flat.. I've done everything I could for his skull to remold itself but have gotten better or worse
