When a Baby’s Head Is Misshapen: Positional Skull Deformities
When a Baby’s Head Is Misshapen: Positional Skull Deformities
- Created in newborns_infants_and_toddlers
Many parents wonder if the shape of their newborn's head is normal. Maybe it seems a bit flat in the back or uneven on one side. Most of these slight imperfections happen when infants spend too much time in one position such as in a crib, a car safety seat, or an infant carrier. The good news is that most of the time the shape of the head returns to normal on its own by simply changing your baby's position regularly. This publication was written by the American Academy of Pediatrics to answer questions from parents about their newborn's head shape.
