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 tche child begins to sit and later walk. pillows will not help much in this case so do not worry. the bonecs 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. Hello mom Maybe takes down and it is quite normal but you have to make your baby sleep straight for a long time and it is very important. In such case you can keep pillows aside your baby so it will be easy for your baby to sleep straight this will only give a proper shape to your babies is
