My DD is 18 months old and she has severe brachycephaly - the back of her head is very flat. She was extremely refluxy when she was smaller and tummy time got quite distressing for both of us, so unfortunately I didn't do it much. The health visitor just said not to worry and that her head would round out once she started sitting up.
Unfortunately it just hasn't. She's been to the GP and anything medically wrong has been ruled out, but the GP did admit that it's very noticeable. I try to remind myself that it's just cosmetic and that we are lucky, but sometimes I feel sick with guilt over it because she'll probably get bullied. It's too late for a helmet now so nothing can be done. I went to a toddler group with her yesterday and was so conscious of all the round heads, I'm sure people stare at her and judge us.
My friend keeps telling me to stop stressing about it, and asked me if I've ever looked at someone else's head and thought it was a funny shape (which I haven't!). So is it likely to be noticeable when she's older or am I really stressing over nothing?
