Dent & flat head on LO
My baby girl is 1.5 months old. She have a dent on the back of her head and her head flat on one side as she like to tilt her head to one side when sleeping. Do I need to consult a PD now?

My LO also prefer sleeping on his right. I find it dent too. So I checked w the nurse at polyclinic and all said it’s fine. Have to give him more tummy time and try to make him sleep on the other side. True enough, the shape went back to original position at 6 months. If worry, can go find PD to take a look
Read moreAt this age, it is too early to start helmet therapy. However, do try to use dimple pillows and rotate the head sleeping position every once in a while to prevent flathead.
Try dimple pillow or swing cot. The pillow is actually flat when baby sleep on it so it won't cause any back problem. My baby had similar problem like yours before this.
I think not to worry too much as with the baby’s growth it will be fine. But you can still check with the doc just to be double sure

My baby also. We are just trying to tilt her head to the other side but seems like she's very comfortable on that side.
Alright thanks alot
The baby head shape will change. You can change the side she sleeps on and see if it helps.
This often does not require treatment but do consult the pediatrician when in doubt...
Thanks alot 😀
Dont worry too much...it will correct itself as baby grows older
Just check with doctor or nurse during vaccine jab.
