I noticed that my 7 month old now has a flat spot on the back of her head, is this something to be concerned about?

Dr told me if I let him lay on his back to much he could get aflat spot.

My daughter sleeps on her back. I'm hoping it isn't something to be concerned about

If its severe she might need a helmet. My hubby was laid on his back as a baby a lot so now one side of his head is flat.

I don't think it's severe it just has me scared tho..

My youngest got a flat spot on the side of his head because he would always turn that way to sleep no matter what. It gave his head a weird shape. When I asked the dr he said it would go away eventually. As he got older & started moving around more in his sleep it went away. He's 17 months now.

It's called plagiocephaly. My daughter had to wear a helmet for three months to correct it. I would get an evaluation from Cranial technologies.

Thanks @wilsomom I hope it can go away on its own

When my daughter was little she had to where a helmet which didn't work for her head is still a little flat. Dr said when I was pregnant with her she must of been laying in one position to long an she had a tight neck muscle we had to do therapy when she was a cpl months old. It was horrible stretching her neck she would cry .
