Any advice on how to fix this flat head?! Ugh, we do tummy time multiple times a day. She is almost always sitting up or in something that does have her head flat when not sleeping. But while sleeping she will not move her head! I try to put it side to side and she just moves it right back!

I honestly don’t think it looks that bad. My son had congenital torticollis which caused plagiocephaly. He needed months of physical therapy and a helmet. If you’re concerned about her neck movement then I’d have her evaluated by a physical therapist for torticollis or any other issues. If you’re thinking of going with a helmet, go see an orthotist ASAP because the sooner, the better. You’d want to get it on before she hits her growth spurts. Message me anytime. Good luck!

@mama.autz, ugh, getting a helmet was/is such a fear of mine. I tried to so hard to prevent it. I feel like a terrible mom, like I did something wrong. She’s 6 months and it wasn’t flat until she was like 4 months. Also she has grown so much. She was 4lbs 7oz at birth and is now about 17. So the first few months there was no weight to that head😞

it’s not a big deal! you can continue just trying to correct it yourself, but don’t wait too long if you don’t start seeing results. it’s best to start the helmet before they’re one! but that still gives you time. don’t feel bad about it, it’s not your fault.

at this point, a helmet is your best option to fix it. most of the flatness comes from the first few months of life while the skull is much more susceptible to force, it’s much harder to correct yourself at this age.
Do you think my baby’s head is flat? I’m scared to death the back of her head will be flat due to her sleeping ALL THE TIME
My baby is trying to go to sleep but shes doing a repetitive move (moving her head side to side) is this normal? Its the first time i see this happen 😳
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤
Mia rolls onto her front properly now, but sometimes puts her face down squashing her nose and it scares me to death!! I have found her sleeping on her front with her head to the side so I know she can move her head to breath but sometimes she doesn’t move her face 🤷🏻 ♀ 😖 even though I’m there to move her it’s so worrying sometimes... she will move her face if she can’t breath or something won’t she !? 😳
I have a question. My daughter is a month and a half old. I know her dr and everyone else I've talked to said she needs to sleep on her back. My problem is, she sleeps so so so much better on her tummy. My question is, if she can move her head from side to side, should I continue to let her sleep on her tummy, or just keep her on her back?

Has your dr mentioned anything? I was scared about my son's head, but it fixed itself
