Flat head in Babies is very commonly seen mostly on one side initially when the baby is not flipping on the sides in the first few months . so because of the continuous pressure over the soft skull bonies such flattening can be there . This  normalises by itself gradually when the skull grows in size and shape with age . 
No mustard seed pillow or any such kind of intervention like massageva is required and doesnot help for the corrrection .there is nothing to worry at all.

Hi See when you make your child sleep in one position or one side all the time the head normally becomes flat from that side but here you are saying that it is conical in shape so it is better that you get a check with your doctor because after an assessment only the doctor would be able to tell you as to what do you need to do to balance the shape of the head
