Flat head syndrome

[Laura1990111]

So my baby has a flattened head on one side as he prefers to sleep on that side. I've been to the doctors and they said it is mild and will correct itself. I'm a new mom so feel awful that I didn't know about it. Just thought he found it more comfortable on that side! Didn't know you were meant to reposition their heads!
However even though the doctor said it will be fine I can't help worrying about it. In your honest opinions do you think it's bad? Would you have noticed it if I hadn't said anything?

I would never have noticed op.
I’ve seen a lot worse cases than this.

That’s not too bad

My ds had a flat head at the back where he laid down

It never really corrected but you can’t see it where his hair has grown through

I just feel so awful about it. Just didn't know it could even happen. I think it depends on the angle as well. Sometimes it looks worse than other times. Might just be me obsessing over it though.

Yeah you have new mum syndrome. Worrying about everything

Honestly his head is fine. Any flatness will either correct itself once he starts sitting up or will be hidden when the hair grows

Absolutely not bad. Dd1 had a head much flatter than that and I worried about it so much! It's fine now. Not the roundest of heads but not at all noticeable. Dd2 had a head that was ever so slightly flat, like your photo. Now she has a lovely round bonce! Once they start sitting up their heads get much rounder.

My DH has this and he was DC5. He's bald so it is noticeable but I had no idea that that might be the cause.
