Anyone here has any experience with scaphocephaly (flat head syndrome long, narrow head) with your baby? What did you do? Did you end up getting a helmet or positioning exercises helped? or baby grew out of it when neck got stronger?

flat head syndrome (with torticollis) yes, she had cranial osteopathy, tummy time and grew out of it - according to this, there isn't a lot of evidence to suggest the helmets work www.nhs.uk/conditions/plagiocephaly-brachycephaly/
