The bones in a newborn’s skull are very soft and moldable. Due to this flat spots can develop early in life when a baby is resting in the same position for a long time. When a baby rests in the same place for too long, the side of their head resting against the surface flattens, because the pressure isn’t relieved from that spot. How to prevent flat spots? The simple answer is — proactive positioning! And if you notice your baby has a flat spot? - If it’s a slightly flattened spot that you are worried about and they’re in the 2-4 month old range, changing positions should do just fine. Also, once your baby is able to sit up independently and not relying on baby gear to lay in all day, their head will get rounder on it’s own. If there is a more significant deformity, your best option may be a helmet to reshape the head. Remember, addressing this concern as early as possible will make sure there are no lasting effects.
