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 size and shape with age . No mustard seed pillow or any such kind of intervention like mvassage is required and doesnot help for the corrrection .thekre is nothing to worry at all.

A. Thn Don’t make your child sleep on that side make your child sleep on the back or on the other side which is absolutely and share this with the other side will hopefully retain the original shape so make sure that your child is not sleeping on the flat side
