POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. A flat head in babies, also known as positional plagiocephaly, can often improve over time, especially if you're making efforts to help correct it. The baby's skull is still soft, and if caught early, it can improve with changes in positioning and treatment.
Here are a few things that may help:
Tummy time: Giving your baby supervised tummy time during the day (while awake) helps strengthen neck muscles and prevents prolonged pressure on one part of the head.
Alternate head positions: Try alternating the position your baby sleeps in. Ensure that your baby doesn't spend too much time lying on their back during the day. However, always put your baby to sleep on their back to reduce the risk of SIDS.
Cranial helmets: In some cases, if the flatness is significant and doesn't improve with repositioning, a pediatrician might recommend a cranial helmet to help reshape the skull.
Physical therapy: If the baby has a stiff neck (torticollis), physical therapy might help as well.
Most cases of mild to moderate flat head will improve over time as the baby grows, especially as they begin sitting up and moving around more. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician for an accurate assessment and tailored advice.
