Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. 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 ther 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 fbrain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.

it is natural process
no need to do anything
just try to alter Head position once your child fall asleep because flat head mostly caused by sleeping in same position for long time.
you may use mustard seed pillow which can help to prevent it more
for example Babyhug mustard seed pillow
