My baby has a bit of a flatter side head do i need to go to the doctor?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I would: This is relatively common today with babies who prefer to turn their head to one side when sleeping. That tends to flatten that side from the ear back.Your pcp can monitor the issue & provide you with some ways to counter the effect, with neck stretches or placing the baby differently in the crib. Rare cases have premature fusion of one of the skull sutures & need special rx.

Probably no: Minor asymmetry is common and does not seem usually to affect development.
