What is it?
Plagiocephaly (misshapen or flat head) is when a baby has an uneven or flat spot on their head. A newborns skull bones are soft, thin and flexible. It is normal and most of the time it will correct itself as the baby grows.
Your baby’s ears might look uneven, and their forehead might be more prominent compared to the rest of their head.
In some babies, plagiocephaly can be because of tight neck muscles which will need treatment.
