Tips to Prevent Flat Spots on the Head

  • Change the baby's position in the crib each day. For example, one day place the head at the head of the crib and the next day place the head at the foot of the crib.
  • Avoid long periods of time in car seats, swings, and baby seats where the head will be in the same position.
  • Change the feeding position.
  • Place toys and mobiles so your baby will turn his or her head in different directions.
  • Place your baby on his or her tummy or side while playing when he or she is awake. This is also good for your baby's development.
