She does not require any treatment. It’s positional and will recover slowly when your baby will start sitting. Till that time frequent changing head position will help.
Next Steps
Sometimes flat head may be associated with some syndromes or some problem in skull. So if you notice any other abnormality consult your pediatrician/ neonatologist for same.
