How to deal with a baby's poor head shape after 80 days of sleep

Patient's question:

A 80-day-old baby, the head shape hasn't slept well. There's a lump, very obvious. Should we ignore it, or use a book under it? Or wait until he learns to crawl, and the lump will go down by itself? Figure three is the most obvious.

Doctor's answer:

As long as the head shape is not tilted. The lump at the back of the head. No special management is needed. It will gradually flatten with age! When sleeping, make sure to alternate sides. Lying flat is also okay. The goal is to prevent the head shape from becoming tilted. The child's head shape is quite good. And the bump that has grown is also fine. It was originally because the child was laid flat to sleep more, so the child's head is relatively flat. Now it seems that the child is less likely to sleep on their back. The child's head shape is round. This is a good sign. So there's no need to worry too much. Let nature take its course.
