It is quite common to have this flattening. It does not affect the brain of the baby. So no major problems likely. Head shape may or may not change later. You can try keeping baby in a jhola to help with moulding. Get the baby checked by a pediatrician for other symptoms and signs

Hi,
Start using pillow. Shape is normal for the age. Shape will change as babies grow older.
