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 asx soon as the child begins to sit and later walk. 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 bxrain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.

A. From which ever side the head of the child has become Flat you should not make your child sleep on that side make your child sleep on the other two sides which is what is going to be beneficial to recover the original shape of the head of the child
