Mom of a 3 yr 4 m old boy2 years ago

Q.

my son is nearing 5 months and can roll over sometimes. he has started to sleep on his left side in the crib, he is comfortable also and that worries me. will he have a flat side on his left part of head? is it ok for him to sleep that way? how do i correct it if needed?

A. Flat head in Babies is very common 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 bones such flattening can be there . This will becogme normal by itself gradually when the skull grow in size and shape with age . No musturd seed pillow or any gsuch kind of intervention like massage is required for the corrrction .

A. A little bit of rolling it’s fine it is going to increase over the phone if you’re dial always sleeps on one particular child then you’ll have to try to change it outside otherwise you’re right if the child is going to be flat from that side so try to keep changing the position put a pillow on the other side so that your child is not flip onto the other side
