FLAT HEAD

I posted here a few weeks ago about my little one having a flat head I have actively repo'd her both throughout the day and night increased tummy time. Bought both the babymoov love nest pillow and the lilla kiddos pillow in the hope of correcting it. No matter what o do it just seems to get worse and worse my heart is breaking cause I feel I've let her down I'm a FTM and I feel it's taken all the joy away from
Being a mum. I just don't know what to do anymore she's never in containers and always on my knee now. But even that isn't helping I was hoping not to have to use the helmet being in the UK we would have to pay privately for this. She's 9wks old now
The flat bit has gone from just being on the side to the back of her head. She has a cheek that's slightly bigger then the other when I look at her I just want to cry I feel like I've Ruinned her life.

If attach pictures but I don't know how to do it.

Hi, hers was defo like this, if not slightly worse!

I didn't use the pillow at night but all other naps during day. It had a hole in the pillow and it kind of made her lie facing the ceiling instead of the side. I would put it under her mattress sheet so it didn't move etc. I used it when she was in her pram, on her bouncer, getting her nappy changed etc. All the the time!

@CP2701 That's great to hear, thanks for the reassurance! I believe mild-moderate plagio babies fix themselves in around 25% of cases so here's hoping my bub is one of them
