A flat spot on the back or side of your newborn’s head is normal and can be ignored.
Babies are born with soft heads, allowing them room for their brains to grow.

If babies are laying down most of the day, this syndrome is more likely. To avoid flat head syndrome, hold your baby for periods of time during the day, either in your arms or in a baby carrier, change their sleeping position regularly, and practice appropriate amounts of “tummy time”.
