Question
My newborn is 51 days old, and there is a slight bulge on the left side of the head. They sleep more on the right side, which is flat. I’m now afraid to let them sleep on their side. Will it be noticeable when they grow up? What are the solutions?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that the baby has been sleeping on the same side for a long time, leading to the head being slept to one side. This situation requires timely correction, which means allowing the baby to sleep more on the other side and using items to appropriately support the head after falling asleep. If not treated promptly, it may affect the baby’s normal head shape. Generally speaking, it’s harder to correct on their own after three months.
