Hi Lindie,

This is soooooo common! Ben is now 4 months old, and his head is flat on one side. Ben's pediatrician noticed this a couple of months back, and said it came from favouring one side when he sleeps (which is the left). After that, we noticed he always falls asleep facing the left, because he sucks his left thumb, and turns his head to do so. I say, observe your son when he is sleeping, does he favour one side? We now move ben onto his right side after he falls asleep at night, supported by a special pillow made to help babies sleep on their sides safely. Although we do this, and it seems to be helping, we still need to take Ben to a physio (which im still to arrange) because him favouring one side is effecting his neck and back.

Good luck at the pediatrician! be sure to let us know how it went.
