Are helmets the only way to reshape a 9 month old head? she has flat head that is noticeable.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty much: This is our standard of care for a baby to reshape head. Keep in mind she's up and around much more than she used to be so this may continue to improve on its own. What does your pediatrician say about it? Are her fontanelles still open? A plastics referral may be in order.
