Docs, could a babies flat head hurt their brain growth in anyway?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No brain injury: positional plagiocephaly means flattening of one side of skull usually becaue the babe always lies in the same position. Cosmetic problem only, however try to prevent by 'Tummy Time' and placing babe in different positions in car seat.
