Flat head
I’m embarrassed and ashamed to even ask this… I’m a first time mom and sick to my stomach. I noticed today my baby (12 weeks old) has a flat head, we do tummy time but maybe not enough? She LOVES laying on her back, when she’s fussy all I have to do is lay her down and she’s fine again. Idk I’m hoping this is normal for this age… and if it’s not normal, how do I fix it?
I hope I didn’t ruin my baby’s head shape 😭

Don’t beat yourself up! My baby is about the same age and is having a similar problem. The doctor says it could be torticollis, she only ever wants to lay on one side of her head, I try to turn it and she just turns it back. I’ve been referred to a physical therapist and will have to start doing stretches and exercises to try and help release the tension and hopefully stop her head from getting any worse. It would definitely be worth checking with your pediatrician and seeing what they think!
I’m going thru the exact same thing and definitely think it’s Torticollis ☹️☹️☹️☹️ my daughters 12 weeks as well
