There is usually no need to worry about flat head at back. It is due to soft bones and flat position of baby. It does not affect inside structures. Please give vitamin d drops like d3 must drops 1 ml once a day. You can keep child in a jholi. Meet a pediatrician and get head size checked. Also get milestones checked.

Flat head is nothing to worry. You can start using self made pillow and put him on a hard surface in the day times to play.
