Flat head on baby

My 4 month old seems to have developed a little flat spot on the back of her head, I do everything to keep her off her back as much as possible, I think it's really flat but everyone around me thinks it's mild, anyone else been in this situation what did you do?

Doesn't look flat to me, looks normal.

That's very mild and totally normal. It's hardly even noticeable and even if it gets more pronounced it will right itself once she starts sitting up.

It's only natural to worry as a mom. You're little one's head isn't all flat which is great.

A little pillow filled with uncooked rice (like a mini bean bag) really does the trick for getting the head shape right in infants. You only want to use that pillow when she's resting where you can keep an eye on her at all times of course =)
