There is a dip on backside of 2 months old baby's head , can this fill on its own, i am giving around 15-20 mins of tummy time in total in a day to the baby but still seeing that the head is turning flat, can this be corrected on its own?

Do head massage properly every day before bath  Change baby's position frequently while sleeping.  It will help.   Can use baby pillow in a night time while sleeping.  As age progresses head will become round bcz skull bone will take time to fuse.

First do change your baby’s sleep position by turning the head to the opposite side. Then increase tummy time when your baby is awake and under your supervision. Please consult as there is need to determine symmetric development of trunk and neck muscles. Also, after 6months, if sitting doesn't improve, there are other options.
