Hi everyone, twins born 32+6 in May. So 2 months old but adjusted age is 2 weeks. One of my boys needs to get a helmet as it’s flat on his right side. Was just told today at his 2 month appt. I didn’t realize how fast it can happen though since we didn’t notice it at his doctors appt 2 weeks ago.
Getting fitted for the helmet on Monday. I feel like such a failure for letting this happen. I have a 2 year old as well and I just feel so split.
Doctor told me to roll a blanket up under his back/head so he doesn’t lay on the right side.
Any tips to use while we wait to get him fitted for the helmet /tips for when we get the helmet are appreciated.

Hi! Are you based in UK? Your baby is still very young and flat spot could be easily corrected by repositioning ( making your baby to look to the left and positioning his head to the left while he is asleep.

Baby’s skull gets harder at around 6 months and prior that you can adjust its shape quite easily. After 6 months it gets harder but is still possible
