Q.

my baby has flat spot on right side and back of his head is completely flat... his head is heavy and he has not gained neck control and didn't roll over also... he's 4 n half months old... I'm worried... will his head lag improve n will his flat head round out on its own?

A. thank you... but my baby head is very heavy which is preventing him from rolling over...

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 years ago

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 twxo 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 the skull are elastic so to give space to the growing xbrain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.
