Question
Will a baby’s flat head shape return after sleeping?
Answer
If a baby’s head shape is flattened due to sleeping, it can be corrected by adjusting the sleeping position. After the baby falls asleep, you can help turn the baby’s body to the other side. You can also use a pillow or cushion to support and help maintain the baby’s side sleeping posture. Since a baby’s skull is soft and elastic and grows rapidly, the head shape has a high degree of plasticity.
