12 week old and flat head (pictures)

As I put in my title, my 12 week old has a flat head
When DD was born she preferred to sleep looking left so I put her down that way and obviously she’s got a flat head now! I’m a new mum and I didn’t consider this could happen, no one told me to alternate sides so I assumed it was fine
Its very pronounced but all I keep hearing when I ask about it is ‘it will round out’ (I have asked the doctor at her 6 week check and I used the health visitor texting service)
My DD hates tummy time so usually gets sat up on me throughout the day and once she is asleep I turn her head (which thankfully she doesn’t usually move back)
Has anyone else’s baby had this and did it actually round out? I’m considering a helmet but they are ££

My DD has a completely flat head at the back as a baby. As soon as she was up and about it sorted itself out. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.
