A member asked:
I know heads can be formed in all shapes & sizes but is it normal for the back of a 4mo old baby's head to be flat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes this is generally a normal finding. The skull of a baby is very malleable and still "growing". The shape can still change at this point. Speak with your primary doctor if you are concerned.
