A member asked:

What is the most effective way to prevent flat head syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Richard Pollard answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Rotate Baby: Discuss with pediatrician, but the best way to avoid this is to not let the baby sleep on its back all the time. Once swaddled you can rotate baby from side to side to minimize the flat head.
