Jacob has always had a bit of a flat head at the back. We figured it was from laying on his back to sleep all the time, but it's also a little bit genetic judging by the shape of a few people's heads in the family LOL. 8-[

It's not excessively flat - sure I had people comment on it (much to my horror - as far as I was/am concerned my baby is perfect as is yours of course!), but in all seriousness, it's not an issue at all now. It's not as noticeable now as I think it has come out a fraction and he has a full mop of hair to cover it up too LOL!

There was never any suggestion of the need to wear a helmet. It's my understanding that this is only necessary where there the situation is quite chronic......?
