My 14 week olds back of her head is flat. I have tried everything, extra tummy time, letting her sleep on her side during the day I even bought a back of the flat head support pillow thing but nothing is helping it. My cuzin who has 3 children told me “I have had 3 and never had that problem, you must be doing a terrible job at this parenting thing, doesn’t she have tummy time, how on earth could you let her head get like that?” I felt so horrible, I try my best to be the best parent I can be, and then get told I am doing a terrible job. I felt so horrible, she was telling me it can be permanent, I feel like I ruined my babies head She sleeps over 9 hours, and only likes sleeping on the back of her head, does not like to put her head to the side at all. I don’t know what else I can do I am hoping its not permanent and it will go back to normal when she can sit up, crawl etc. Have you ever been told something similar, whats was your reaction? How should have I handled this? I just got angry and left.
