This time I am making sure I place my bb on different sides each day to 'shape' his head & hopefully avoid 'flathead'...my mum said in her day they were told to do this to ensure bb had a nice shaped head. My first's head has mostly sorted itself out when he started to move lots in his sleep & wasn't always on his back anymore but I can still tell there is a slight slant on his skull.
Aso when they are old enough make sure your LO gets plenty of 'tummy time' so there isn't always pressure on the back of their head.
