Hi Kirsten
Maybe bub could see an osteopath that specialises in
babies. This won't stop the flatness, but will help to ensure all
the bones are sitting correctly.

[ozmidwifery] Flat spots
Hi Kirsten,
It is good for baby to have tummy play each day when awake. Also
try putting babe's head at opposite ends of cot each time they go down
for a sleep, as they usually turn their head toward the middle of the
room, changing ends will then make them turn their head to the
opposite side (works for some anyway!). In most cases they resolve.
However, the head circumference needs to be monitored to ensure adequate
growth is occuring. A Maternal and Child Health Nurse should be
consulted, and perhaps check the head circumference every three months
or so.

Good afternoon wonderful
midwives,
I have a follow through
client whose beautiful baby has developed flat spots on her head from
the way she lies when sleeping. Its quite pronounced. Does any body
have any info on this? And what can I suggest she tries to combat
this?
Love &
Light
