Flat head syndrome

[BlondieBrownie]

My DS is 9MO and has some flatness on the back of his head.

He won't sleep in any position other than on his back in his cot and I keep him from laying on his back during the day as much as possible excluding his nap.

It is very noticeable now and I am wondering if anyone has any experience or advice to offer?

I've had two with flat spots on their heads, one is three and a half and the other is 15 months. They've both got round heads now and look fine.

I had a special pillow for dd that stopped flat head (bought because Dh has really flat head) wad like a doughnut

I was worried about my DS at a similar age. He too would only lie in one position, not matter how hard I tried to get him to change.

Now he's 14 months and his hair has grown quite a bit. He still has a slightly flat back of his head, but only I notice it. His hair covers it nicely, and I think it's rounded out a bit too.

He'll grow out of it. It's harmless

I know a boy who had a totally flat head as a baby. Totally totally flat. His head is head shaped now.
