Head Shape
I feel like my baby's head is lopsided or somewhat flat in the back. I guess my question is, what does the back of your baby's head look like? Is it perfectly round or flatish in certain spots?
At his one month appt the ped said that it is flat-ish in one spot but I feel like since then it has gotten worse. Maybe I am just worried over nothingl.
It took over four years to be diagnosed with PCOS. We TTC #1 for 18 months, did 5 rounds of Clomid and finally moved onto IVF...which worked! Throughout our IF journey, we suffered 3 miscarriages. We conceived both DD and DS without treatment.

Re: Head Shape
She doesn't sleep on her back. I think that's what has kept her head round in the back. It's got a few hills & valleys, but round for the most part.?
I would definitely call the pedi if you feel it's gotten worse.
He will tell you what to do in order to avoid needing that helmet thing to fix it. A lot of babies have the same issue and a lot of mothers don't find out there's a problem until much later. ?
Definitely worth bringing up with the pediatrician.
Kate's head is flatter on one side than the other due to her Torticollis (muscles on one side of her neck are shorter than the other...she was squished when I was pregnant with her). We have to stretch her neck daily and adjust her positioning (we move her toys and will bumper her head) so that she turns the other way so we can minimize the flat spot.
dd spends a lot of time sitting in her boppy while we play, read, sing or hanging over an arm superman style. she likes to see out and have her arms & legs dangling.?
she also likes being over my shoulder. ?
Willem's head is still pretty round. I worry about it getting flat, too, especially because he doesn't always like to turn his head while he sleeps.
