My newborn baby's head is an odd shape. Will it always be like this?

Because of the pressure exerted during delivery, most babies have cone like shape heads. As Jamie mentioned, encouraging your baby to lie on his side during sleep and rotating to the other side occassionally. Try not to let baby lie on his back for long period of time to prevent flat head syndrome. There are pillows that claims to prevent flat head syndromes (My son uses babysafe pillo) which have a dimple in the middle of it. So far, my son doesn't have any flat head and he sleeps mostly on his back when he was younger. Nowadays he just flips everywhere! Take precaution though: it is not advisable for newborns to be sleeping on a pillow in case of SIDS. My son co-sleeps with me, plus I am a light sleeper so I guess it's fine for me.

Thankfully, their heads get rounded by the time they are 6 months old. Their heads are misshapen due to the pressure during delivery. When they are able to move around freely and sit upright, pressure on their skull is relieved and their heads can eventually round out. You can also try encouraging your baby to lie on his side. What many parents do is to round their baby's head gently using their hands. http://www.babycenter.in/x1053598/my-newborns-head-is-an-odd-shape-what-can-i-do-to-make-it-round

Don't be afraid. Babies' skull bones are soft and easily moulded to help them squeeze through the birth canal during a vaginal delivery. If you run your fingers over your newborn’s skull, you may also find that you can feel ridges along the areas where the bony plates of the skull have overlapped. In short, cone heads are quite normal. Also you can check here for details: https://sg.theasianparent.com/newborn-head-baby-head?utm_medium=web&utm_source=search&utm_campaign=elastic

Whats the age of your baby? If he/she is less than 2 months then you can easily mold it yourself otherwise visit a doctor for the advice.

Go and talk to a doctor as my son was the same and he has to get a op I hope your son is ok xx

There's no need to worry if your newborn's head is an odd shape. It's common and should soon even out.

U can mould it. Change your baby's sleeping position often or visit the doctor

thanks
