There was a similar posting a few weeks ago and here was my response.I experienced the same thing where my sons head was started to misshapen to one side and this worked for me. just wait and see what the doctor says! :-D horribly scary and alarming! Sorry that I don't have any great advice. Online info can be so wonderfully helpful, and at the same time. Try to not do too much googling at this point. and it didn't really - so I wish I had been more persistent, but he was my first and I just trusted the doc). kept telling me that it would eventually round out. (To this day, I wish I had gotten a doc band for my now 7 year old. like a Doc Band or scans, to make sure all is well. sometimes, docs blow it off b/c of their soft skulls. do you think it's from how he's laying - or do you think it's changing on its own and his forehead is abnormally protruding? if you are extremely concerned. YES, babies head shapes are constantly changing. so I don't think there's harm in waiting just a couple more days. the doc can check it out in 3 days and IMO, nothing would happen overnight. That's just part of the job of being mom. You will be presented with many many issues to get scared about during the infancy of yuor child. So just know that whatever the problem is, you still have time to fix it, so just calm down. My understanding is that the helmet can really really help out. If the head is a real problem, your doctor will talk to you about the helmet. So calm down, talk to the doctors, and start moving his head around. Email me if you want me to send you a current picture. We started seeing improvement in a few weeks and now our daughters' heads are perfect. For us, since they had to be on their backs and upright so much, our nanny suggested that we buy the little donuts that you use under baby's heads in strollers we turned it upside down and used it to lift the baby's head up so no weight was on the chair or crib. Roll up a towel or blanket to help keep him in position. Every time you lay the baby down, move its head around. But we decided against the helmets and instead starting positioning differently. We took them to the doctors and talked about the helmets and they were really pushing it. We were also scared to death and they told us the girls might need to wear those helmets.
Doctors did not bother to tell us the problem about positioning. Much of the problem was due to the way we positioned their heads all the time they had a lot of problems with reflux and we went to a lot of trouble to keep them upright etc but they were always in one position with their head. My twin girls' heads were slightly misshapen when they were that age it was probably about that age that we discovered it.
