Baby flat head and cranky

2016-07-09 13:55:36
My baby is approx 5 months old. I noticed that a portion of his head is flat from backside above neck. Should i be worried about it? Is there any way to make it round again? 2) He hasn't started rolling over also. Should we try making him sit at this age? 3) When should we start giving him Other food? Currently he is only on breast feed.
