How severe is this plagiocephaly?

[SteeplechaseEva]

DD is 3 and a half months old. We have tried the usual things. Not sure whether to start looking at helmets etc

If you have any questions, and you have a Facebook account, you could look into joining the Noggin Doctors Plagiocephaly and Torticollis Discussion Board there. Its run by an American paediatric Craniofacial plastic surgeon with over 20 years experience. He answers questions on anything to do with babies heads, for free. It's really helpful.

Another one with a DS whose head looked very similar to your photo and it’s totally fine now- he’s now 14 and has very short hair and his head looks totally normal.

I also got one of those heart shaped pillows with the hole in but to be honest I don’t think that made much difference. I put him in a sling a lot and he encouraged tummy time when he was able to get him off his back.

I remember really worrying about it and researching the helmets.

But honestly think it’s just time and they just kind of right themselves.

@SteeplechaseEva my son's head is currently looking really similar to yours and we're hand wringing over whether to go down the helmet route or not privately (GP has said just leave it, will grow out etc)....did yours even out or did you make any other interventions? Would be so grateful to hear how your little one got on. Thanks :)

@SteeplechaseEva how old is your baby?
