My baby is 3 month old and he has flat head. I can see crown area is lifted and back of head is flat. I use mustard pillow also since birth. Does it get resolved with time?

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.h 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 brain it takes different shape and when the growth of the brain occurs properly then gradually they will take a normal shape.

A. Look when you make your child sleep in one position all the time maybe you’re using a pillow so you’re making your child sleep on the back which is why the head has become flat you need to keep changing the position of your child from time to time so that the head doesn’t become flat for further assistance I would recommend you to consult your doctor one time
