Baby flat head syndrome
Hi my baby is 1.5 months old and she sleeps with head turned on one side. Our parents suggested to keep a cloth spiraled as a cushion for her head but still she sleeps on one side. Now her head appears a bit flat on one side. All the elders say this remains permanent since care was not taken. Does this require any correction? Does it correct itself?
