DS is 9wks and has a flat patch on one side of his head.
His doctor recommended putting him to sleep on the one side, swaddled and propped up with a rolled-up blanket. I said that this would surely increase the risk of SIDS and she assured me it wouldn't.
I'm in the US so maybe practices are different but I'm not hugely comfortable doing this... He's a big 9wks, breastfed, in our room etc, so no other 'risk' factors, but still.
If we don't prop him up though I don't know how to ensure he stays on one side.
Any advice?
