Right side of my baby's head is flat

2021-12-17 07:57:00
My daughter recently turned 1 Yr.. Her right side of head is flat and the left side of head is curve.. I tried every possible way from turning her head always to the left to using mustard pillows and giving massage to her.. nothing cured it..but i could see little improvement. Now I am worried that will it stay like this forever.. Am I too late for any treatment? But my doctors say that it will improve on time.. I am confused.

It should improve with time. No need to worry about it. Its just a shape of the skull. It won't be noticeable in adult life. It does not lead to internal damage
