My gorgeous little girl is nearly six months and I absolutely adore her. However, she has a very flat head from lying on her back and I am really struggling with my feelings about it. I feel so, so guilty and as though I've let her down. I feel as though I'm worrying about it constantly, even waking in the middle of the night and wondering where I went wrong, and I feel teary and anxious if I think about it too much.
I've spoken with two different doctors both of whom have said that it will become much less noticeable with time (and hair!) and I'm trying to keep her off her back as much as possible. But I can't stop feeling as though I haven't looked after her properly. She was so perfect when she was born and now she has a wonky head and it's all my fault.
I guess, AIBU to feel Iike this? Any suggestions on how I can move past it?
