  No.  We have taken measures to prevent this.

  No, but DS has always been a side sleeper.  If you're concerned about it, let your pediatrician know.  They can discern if you need to put LO in a special helmet to help reshape their head.  However, it may not be as bad as you think it is.  Best of luck to you!

  We do tummy time, she won't sleep on her tummy in her crib but will do it on . She.sits up allot too but the back of her head is really flat. I'm really trying to do all that I'm supposed to. :{

  My DD has a little flat spot where her soft spot is. It is about the size of a half dollar. I'm going to ask at her 4 month checkup, but I think it is not an issue. The sooner you have it checked out the better though. If it isn't corrected soon they may have to wear those helmets for a year.

  DS has one on the top side of his head- caused by torticollis. We are in physical therapy now. Because we are on track to correct it by 5 months the prognosis is good for avoiding a helmet!! Which, by the way, is $3,000 and not covered by insurance.

  We have a spot on the back right side so the pedi suggested we have him look more left and have him sit more and tummy time. I have heard they can fix themselves. 

  We are afraid of the helmet but he is a great sleeper at night (8-10 hours) so I cant make him sleep in one position all night. We are just going to see how it all develops as he grows.
