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 two 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 ccase so do not worry. the bones in the skull are elastic so to give space to the growcing brain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.

A. Hello mom It takes around one year to get a proper shape to babies head so you have to wait till the time and there is nothing to worry about. It will get normal by its own by your baby grows up so you don’t have to worry about it at all. You should just start using rai pillow for your baby
