A. Flat head in Babies is very commonly seen mostly on one side initially when the baby is not flipping on the sides in the first few months . so because of the continuous pressure over the soft skull bones such flattening can be there . This normalises by itself gradually when the skull grows in bsize and bbshape with age . No mustard seed pillow or any such kind of intervention like massage is required and doesnot help for the corrrection .there is nothing to worry at all.
