What can I do if my baby has a flat spot on their head?

Positional head flattening is often addressed by increasing supervised tummy time throughout the day. You can also encourage the baby to turn their head away from the flattened side by placing them in different positions during naps or changing the orientation of their sleeping area. While many cases resolve as the baby becomes more mobile and spends less time on their back, always discuss persistent concerns with your pediatrician.
