Flat head not resolved 11 month old

Hi. I first noticed that my lo had a very flat head when she was 3 months old. I sought advice from my hv who told me it would resolve and gave some pointers on things I could do (putting her toys on the side she didn't favour, tummy time etc.). Despite all this we're about to hit her first birthday and it hasn't sorted itself out. Hv keeps saying it will improve and her hair will cover it. I'm not convinced and am now taking her to a cranial osteopath to see if that helps. I was just wondering if there is anyone else who was in this situation at this age and found that it still improved further down the line? I'm feeling really guilty about not doing more sooner.

My daughter had a "cone head" for ages! It's fine now.

My son had torticollis, a stiff neck, when he was born and quickly developed a plagiocephaly, flat head, it was still really noticeable at 11m, but age 5 now you really wouldn't notice, his head evened up just fine, take a photo from above now with wet hair so you see the shape of his head, take it again in 6m, you'll see the difference. I'll find my previous thread on this, I attached my pics there. We outlined the pics so we had a drawing... Can't tell we were obsessive can you?

I'm sorry I don't know how to link but the thread is still there with my pics and the title is
Has anyone regretted putting their baby in a helmet for plagiocephaly?

The OP was pp3000, the thread comes up immediately if you search 'pp3000 plagiocephaly'
