So Connor is almost 5 months old and he has a flat spot on his head, he sleeps on his back but I put him a one of those things were it like keeps him on his back so he doesn't roll. I have him sleeping in a pack and play, would it be safe to let him sleep on his tummy or not yet? I just don't want his head to end up being super flat.

No you didn't sound bossy at all, no worries! But his doctor has addressed his head and told me more tummy time and sitting up right and what not, so I guess we just gotta do that! Thanks for your input :) @hellosweetie
Sorry if I sounded a bit on the bossy side lol I'm no expert, but everything I've read says that to reduce flat heat, just rotate his head side to side and give lots of tummy and/or upright time! If his doctor hasn't showed concern for it yet, I'm sure it will be fine and round out, and you are doing a great job!!! My girl didn't get flat head cuz she's always been very active, but she had a horrible bald spot lol it's filling in nice now, but the key was just letting her sit up, tummy time, wrapping her on me when on the go, etc....and my other friend's baby had real bad flat head recently and the doctor was gonna suggest a helmet if it got worse, but more tummy time did the trick and so far so good, hasn't needed a corrective helmet! You're a great mom, follow your instincts! If it makes you nervous or gives you second thoughts, chances are you are right!
@hellosweetie, I'm kinda glad you put wrote that, I was thinking twice about putting him on his stomach. Plus he's not a huge fan of being on his stomach, he only sleeps on his back and that's how he's comfortable. I just don't want his flat spit to be any worse than what it already is 😕
The key to getting rid of flat head is to keep him out of any kind of "bucket seat" during the day, and give him tummy time several times a day for as long as he'll tolerate it. It isn't a good idea to set him on his tummy to sleep, it's always best to follow SIDS safety guidelines, I have a friend who's baby died of SIDS so it's close to home for me, please follow the guidelines of back to sleep! However, you can turn his head to the left or right, do not put ANYTHING in the bed with him, if he rolls by himself in his sleep that's okay, that is natural development and if he can do it, he will do it safely, just keep an eye on him as usual of course. This is just the best advice I have, I may sound like a worry wort but like I said, SIDS is too close to home for me and I would never even risk it. My daughter is 6 months old, can roll, crawl, sit and pull herself to a stand but I still follow "back to sleep" and no extras in her bed....
I used to turn kylers head because her doctor said she start rates getting a flat spot. Every so often I would change which way her head was facing when she slept or just laid down
@tatiananoelani, okay cool good to know! @laylamommy I feel like I'll be nervous at first because of it but he's really good at rolling onto his back if he needs to!
My in laws say to turn the baby every now and then from his tummy to his back just make sure there's not a blanket up by his face or any sort of loose cloth that can potentially cover his face while sleeping
My daughter was sleeping on her stomach by 5 months bc she was able to roll. I still would check on her through out the night until I felt a little more comfortable with her being on her tummy.
My babies are two months and sleep on their tummy the whole night, I think it'll be okay
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My son keeps rolling over and sleeping on his stomach when he sleeps, should I turn him on his back or let him sleep how he wants?
My son is one year old and i want him to go back and get use to sleeping in the crib I put him in the crib and all he does is cry and I spoke to his doctor and his doctor said let him cry like in 2 or 3 days he should get use to sleeping on his own has anyone try it ?
Can a baby sleep on a pillow ? I know a baby is suppose to sleep on his/her back but what if the baby is sleeping on it's back but head on a pillow ? So the baby won't be so flat.
Ugh (long)
So yesterday I heard my sister and her Bf fighting. To the point I had to yell downstairs to stop it. (I heard my sister yell something, Something banging on the wall, then her Bf yelling) so I yelled 'what is going on in my house?!' The Bf yelled back my sister tripped him and he hit his head and wouldn't let him leave. I yelled to let him go. So she did. Two hours later he came back(to get some of his stuff) and came upstairs to tell me he was moving out. Ok fine. Idc (personally I...
No problem, I'm sure it'll sort out soon!!! You got this mama 😉
