Hi, this is with regards to my 8.5 month old daughter s head. Since her first month I she has had a super flat side on the back right side. i feel like my doctor is dismissive and doesn t actually care about my concerns. I am considering using the helmet as i know two people now who have and feel it worked. Is it the general belief that they do not work? I feel one small study is not enough to satisfy my need to do SOMETHING to help. I have done everything possible to help it naturally and it is just not getting better. i feel I should see SOME kind of improvement at this point and I fear waiting will make it less likely that I can help it later.
HAI I'm Chat Doctor. 5 yrs)As the baby grows in the mothers uterus and during labor it has to pass few obstacles and come out. Hence, this is one of the safety mechanism to protect them. Once you put your baby in a hard surface like floor baby will roll and slowly as he grows skull ll be to normal shape. For your case, I would like to know whether your baby is growing well or not?? By 8.5 months a baby should sit without support, crawl and stand with support. Should speak monosyllables and wave bye bye. If his growth is fine, you don't have to worry about the shape. Just stay calm, wait and watch he will be fine. Take care.
