A member asked:
My 8mths old still has a flat head at the back. he has been sleeping on his sides for the past 2mths with a slight improvement. should l be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will improve: Some flattening is normal at this age and will resolve as the child grows. I recommend watching this and discuss at your next visit with the pediatrician. By the time they are walking, this will be resolved.
