Yes my youngest developed this quite strong. When laying down she always had her head only to one side, resulting in Plagiocephaly. We consulted the physio who treated her neck and gave exercises for us to do with her

My youngest developed a flat spot on one side, her head was misshapen and I was so worried. She saw a specialist and they said it would correct itself, which it eventually did. I did everything you were doing, too. Only extreme cases require a helmet later on or something similar, so I wouldn’t worry at all especially at 4 months.

It will take time, but if you’re worried I’d talk to a doctor or a community nurse.

Pretty sure this is a self correct problem, I’m sure you would have been given things to do if you could fix it. It’ll take time,meshes only 4 months, still tiny. Be patient, it will happen!

My little man went into a helmet at 4 months to correct his head – mind you it was shaped like a triangle. If you are concerned I would suggest getting it looked at, it’s much easier to correct at that age and gets harder as they get older. With my son it was only cosmetic but I didn’t want him being self conscious as he got older. We had a great result in only 8 weeks and he will never remember being in it (other than the photos and the fact my mum kept the helmet lol)

Just keep encouraging tummy time as uh as you can, maybe make her cot up the other end to encourage her to lay on a different angle with her head

Go see a paediatrician. But tummy time tummy time tummy time

All my 3 girls developed flat spots no matter what I tried and I stressed like crazy but of course now no one could ever tell.
Lots of tummy time helps.
A lot of times you will find they face a certain way in the cot so getting them to face the other way.
You can always see a physio for advice etc if you think it’s getting worse

Talk to your midwife about what to do or another medical expert eg pediatrician

it will just take time.

It will take time and even sometimes can take up to 1 year, if it were me I wouldn’t worry about it till she was 1 but if it is bothering you that much just pop along and see your Gp for a peace of mind.

all great advice here as usual also this web site is very helpful …good luck and best wishes to you and bub.

Takes time. Our little girl took over a year to close up. Our nurse said to check in with GP if it was popping out or sucking in; otherwise just be mindful of it.

I had a similar problem with one of my sons. I was told to give heaps of tummy time. When awake you can roll up a towel and put it on one side when they are playing on their back to encourage them to look the other way. Carry them around with her over your arm so she faces down at the floor. Takes pressure off head. They also generally enjoy it.

Takes time. Just turn your bub once in a while when sleeping so not sleeping on one spot. I was gifted a little pillow with a small round curve in the middle of the pillow to support the head and lessen the flat top

Yeah I have been told could be 18 months before it closes……..

I have been moving her bassinet around, she is only really on her back at jight, during the day she side sleeps, propped with pillows and I keep a close eye on her….I will be persistent and hope it corrects itself….

I think this just takes time. My bubs is still a little open at 3 months.

Try placing your baby at the other end of the cot for some sleeps, or move the cot around in her room to entice her to turn her head to look at the window,bright objects or mural.When she is on her back, move toys that she likes to look at from side to side. Give her more tummy time and during playtime, lie on her side for some of the time while she is awake. Obviously you’d be keeping a close eye on her when she is on her side & you would never allow her to sleep this way.
