Head shape: Sometime babies that are on their back all of the time, can get flat spots on their head. They need tummy time, under observation, every day. Two months is early for these changes. Some head asymmetry is normal, but have your doctor check it out at your next well baby check. Suction is placed in the center, usually at the top of the head, towards the back.

It is positional: Your baby may be lying on ,with head tilted to left .It is postural and happens as baby skull bones are soft.It gets corrected as the baby grows .You put baby to sleep on back and make sure his head is straight ,not tilting to left .You can use U-shaped small pillow .With the time your baby head will be nice round and symmetrical .
