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.
pillows will not help much in this case so do not worry.
the bones in thee 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. Not required, Practice tummy time. Provide plenty of supervised time for your baby to lie on the stomach while awake during the day. ...Vary positions in the crib. Consider how you lay your baby down in the crib. ...Hold your baby more often. ...Change the head position while your baby sleeps
