    Unhappy misshapen head and cephalhaematoma

    I am greatly concerned about my baby's head. He is 8 weeks old and was born with massive cephalhaematoma on both sides of his head.One side has gone completely down and looking very flat but the other side is still swollen. The back of his head is very flat from sleeping on his back even though I try and turn his head on the swollen side. My MCHN has suggested paedi chiropractor but my obstetritian advised against it. We are seeing a paediatrician in few weeks as the flatness on the back of his head is getting worse and he favours the side without the haematoma.
    Has anyone gone through this with their bubs and any suggestions please???
