A member asked:
Hi! my babys head was completely round when she was born but now at 6 months it seems to be more of an oval shape.is that anything to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: You can have the doctor check it. Oval is usually normal. The head changes shape throughout at least the first year of life. It doesn't change much after that. It continues to grow until about 2 years of age, but maintains the same shape unless something is done to change it. http://ramseypediatric.com/pediatrics-blog/flat-head-baby-or-positional-plagiocephaly-in-babies/plagiocephaly/.
