A. due to pressure on one side of the head during sleeping there is flatness / abnormal shape on that side of the head. no treatment is required for flat head / bumpy head and you will see that by one year to two years of age the flat head will go away as soon as the child begins to sit and later walk.x pillows will not help much in this case so do not worry. the bones in the skull are elastic so to give space to the growing brain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.

A. Without a checkup and assessment I cannot give you clarity on that so whatever that you have associated with us it’s best to take with your doctor they will be able to check it physically and accordingly they can tell you what the situation is and if there is anything needed to be done
