A. Crying of a Baby is mostly because of infantile colic and gas related discomfort which can be relieved by medicine like colicaid /gastica drops. other reasons could be nasal blockage, ear pain, diaper rash and more which needs to be ruled out and managed accordingly . and if the child is crying because of changing the position that mean the child is not comfortable in that position and head shape in this age is not a matter of concern unless and until there is any medical complication so better to take expert advice

A. See It is mostly observed that if a child is sleeping on one side only most of the time the head becomes flat from that side and then it is quite a problem in the later stage so yes you should keep trying to make your child sleep in different different postures otherwise the head is going to become flat from left side
