Baby head shape - turned into a cone!

[55thecat]

My 10 week old DS had an operation last week and did a lot of sleeping / resting in recovery and not much else. They seem to have developed a cone head as a result.. any tips on how to get rid once they are feeling better?

It's positional and his head is still soft so you can give him plenty of tummy time so it's able to go back into a rounder shape. Bless him...it's not that unusual OP.

Thanks just a bit of a shock!

Tummy time or being held upright against your shoulder should sort it out

A sling would help too!

Cranial osteopath is what you need...

Only severe cases need a cranial osteopath. The majority of babies heads return to normal naturally. I certainly would not let an osteopath manipulate my baby's skull unless absolutely necessary!

And OP's baby is 10 weeks old! Tiny!
