Mild cases will likely resolve on its own. Severe cases with torticollis will unlikely resolve with repositioning. Not every head is the same.

If they have Torticollis, they may need the help from a helmet.

My baby likes to look up.. no matter where he lays 🙄 he has flat head already. I’d like to fix it without the helmet

Is a helmet mandatory if it’s not that bad, my pediatrician keeps putting pressure and it’s not even BAD .

Let’s talk to parents about side sleeping while being watched too. Helmets will be needed in severe cases. Also, helmets are not cosmetic.

My son has plagiocephaly and torticollis. Lots of PT and a helmet. Had shoulder dystocia and a month long nicu stay. He’s 8mo with a 13mm difference:(

If it’ll get better on its own then why is my pediatrician recommending a helmet at 6 months?

As a mom of a babe with craniosynostosis I just wanted to suggest that folks talk to their doc about odd shaped head to get a proper diagnosis as well

My son had Torticollis and plagiocephaly. We did PT for torticollis, found a DO that helped reshaped his head with her hands rather than helmet

my baby's head is oval - flat on the sides bc he hardly ever lays on the back of his head. anything I can do to help that?

Thank you for this. My son developed a flat spot, and I can actually see and feel the dip from his bassinet. I’m assuming it’s from having limited range of motion while he was swaddled as a newborn, but I can definitely see how changing positions and gently alternating his head to the opposite side could help. Really appreciate this - thank you.
